[linux-dvb] Re: Full featured DVB-T card update

Interesting.  These are exactly the symptoms I get with my DVB-T card.

OSD still works as well in this state...

FYI, my card has deteriorated rapidly.  It now fails after 1-2 channel
changes, and now even dies without changing channel (I watched for about 3
mins and it died spontaneously mid stream.  I think heat must be an issue
(although I have the side of the case removed, I have no fan over the card
at the moment) - I suspect that some components have got damaged by the heat
anyway (just a guess)

I've got a budget card on order, but assuming I fail to get Hauppauge to
help me out with this (likely), would any of the developers be interested in
aquiring this card on a long term loan for testing, etc?
