[linux-dvb] Skystar2 rev 2.6b erratic behavior

[gb <googlybear@hotpop.com>]

Hello,

I'm running gentoo (2004.2 CD) with kernel 2.6.7 with dvb support as  
modules.
I load the modules:
modprobe dvb-core dvb_shutdown_timeout=0
mosprobe skystar2
modprobe stv0299

then I type: szap -r ZDF
(sometimes) it locks on the channel.
then I can do: mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
and the image is displayed on screen.

after "szapping" a few channels, I start getting some problems...
Some times it doesn't lock at all!!If I stop szar, and restart it, it  
locks ok (!)...
some other times, it does lock, but there's no data comming out of  
/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 !!!

If I remove the modules, and reload them, then sometimes it resumes  
working...

Can anyone give me some help?
