<br>
Does anyone know if this is a linux only issue, or is it present in
windows to ?<br>
If it´s broken in windows to it´s probably a dead end =(<br>
<br>
Otherwise I think atleast one nova-t 500 owner on this list had
contacts with the linux-usb list, don´t know
<br>
if it yielded anything but iirc the problem is usb related not dvb
driver related. Does any pursue this or did it just die at not dvb
related ?<br>

Hi there,<br>
<br>
Many people, including myself have tried to investigate the problem
with little success. My card is now running pretty stable ... it
might crash once every 2-3 weeks.<br>
<br>
I've noticed that it seemed to crash more often with bad reception
(poor signal strength/quality). I've improved my antenna setup, so
maybe this is what improved things for me.<br>
<br>
Others have said that scanning the program guide from EIT causes
problems ... so disabling this might improve things. I've never used
this so can't say.<br>
<br>
The DVB patches recently provided should stop the kernel oopsen caused
by disconnects, but won't fix the underlying problem. I don't know if
anyone has any ideas about fixing the underlying problem.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Matt<br>

Thanks for your replies and I will try the latest software as soon as I<br>
get chance to set up a dev environment.<br>
<br>
I really hate to sound like a whiny ungrateful user, but how soon in
the
<br>
future is the bad behaviour likely to change? When I was sold the Nova-T<br>
500 I was told it was supported in the latest kernel and suitable for<br>
MythTV. If that means "You can load the module but it disconnects
<br>
randomly and you have to restart" then the hardware isn't fit for<br>
purpose and I should be able to return the card.<br>
<br>
Plus, I am going away on holiday in a few weeks time and don't want to<br>
miss Doctor Who ;)
<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help you can give!<br>
<br>
Mike<br>
