Are your DVB 1.3 cards also DVB-T? Do they have an ALPS TDLB7 tuner?

If you're also using DVB-T cards with a ALPS TDLB7 tuner then you might
want to

a) report this on the linux-dvb list so that Jürgen Peitz (who maintains
this particular frontend driver) sees that it's not only me having
problems with the new driver

b) try the cvs revision 1.13 of the file alps_tdlb7.c with a patch
Jürgen posted in September (I'll uploaded it to
http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/VDR/stuff/alps_tdlb7.patch )
This combination works for me, but we all should help Jürgen to find the
problem in the current driver.

Cheers,
Juri
