[linux-dvb] new NOVA-S (in combination with Nexus-S)

[Rainer Janson <rj@rj-net.de>]

today I added a new NOVA-S to my vdr-box. I have a Technotrend Rev. 1.3 and 
a Haupauge Nexus-S in it, too.

I use the driver from 
http://linvdr.org/download/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2002-12-08.tar.bz2.

After reading the threads about the problems with the new modells (Nova-S) I 
have done this:

added a line in ./DVB/driver/av7110/saa7146_core.c
       { PHILIPS_SAA7146, 0x13c2, 0x100c, CARD_INFO ttbci },
+     { PHILIPS_SAA7146, 0x13c2, 0x100f, CARD_INFO ttbs },
       { PHILIPS_SAA7146, 0x13c2, 0x1013, CARD_INFO satel },
=> the card is recognized by the driver

BUT the problem, if there is a active vdr recording and I'am switching the 
channel, I got a vdr "emergency exit!"

(I started vdr with the option -D 0 -D 2)

I have tested the new file uni_stv0299.c (posted from Peter Schildmann at 
2002-12-08 in this list), but the problems are still the same. 

If vdr runs with -D 0 only, all work fine.
