[linux-dvb] Re: Experience building DVS dvb-kernel on 2.4.18 forbudget Nova-T

Hi,

With this lot adjusted, the driver built and showed signs of working.
My problem then was that dvbstream would capture a few seconds of video
and then data would stop.  In the syslog, the fidbirqs would stop too.
This seemed to correspond to a call to budget_diseqc_ioctl - which was
odd because I didn't see in dvbstream where such an ioctl was called.
That's not a bug, it's a feature called power management. When no application is using the frontend anymore it will go into sleep mode.

The RigthWayToDoIt(tm) would be to fix all applications so that they keep the frontend file descriptor opened when they expect data from the frontend device.
