[linux-dvb] Problem with channel switching in (n)tuxzap

["Jiri Netopil" <jiri.netopil@mediumsoft.cz>]

I finally made my NOVA DVB-S card working under Linux. But now I have
strange problem with (n)tuxzap. All is working fine (starting "tuxzap" or
"ntuxzap -e", selecting channel and then starting in other console ts2ps
/dev/ost/dvr 0 0 | mplayer - makes DVB channel playing in mplayer), but the
problem occurs when I try to change channel in (n)tuxzap. When I change
channel in tuxzap or ntuxzap it freezes! I am no longer able to move up and
down in channel list and select channels. Also mplayer window turns into
black. So, when I want to change channel I have to restart (n)tuxzap, select
new desired channel and restart ts2ps | mplayer. It is really not an ideal
way to change channels...!:-(

I discovered, that this problem occurs only when is "something concurrently
reading" form /dev/ost/dvr device. When cat or ts2ps from /dev/ost/dvr is
NOT in progress, then I can change channels in (n)tuxzap without problem.
But I also cannot watch the channel...

I am using oldstruct DVB drivers from 08-16-2002 on Mandrake 8.2 with
2.4.18. kernel.

Does someone knows how to solve it? Thanks for any usefull information!

Regards, Jiri.
