I'm very sad to report that this patch appears to have made no 
difference on *my* card.  However, I think my card may well be dying and 
so not representative of other peoples problems...  It currently seems 
to last about 6 channel changes which is better than yesterday...

I will do some more debugging later and see if I can see that the patch 
is actually firing, ie whether I get debugging messages in the log.  A 
cursory glance though I saw a few "locked up" warning messages, but when 
I retested after manually killing dvb-ttpci, I then locked it up again 
and saw no warning messages...

Just to be clear I am applying this patch to the DVB cvs branch?  
Applied against CVS 30 mins ago I had hunk 3 of your patch not apply 
cleanly (wierd though, it looked fine) and so I manually applied.

I have just about given up on this card now.  I will give hauppauge a 
ring tomorrow and see if they will help out, but assuming in the likely 
event that they don't does anyone want a long term loan of this card 
(Juergen?) for investigation (I'm assuming that I might want it back at 
some point though).  Failing that, anyone want to buy it to use with VDR 
in conjunction with a budget card for signal?

Thanks for your interest everyone
