Description Alexey Parshin 2009-05-11 01:05:18 UTC
Hauppauge Nova-T DVB card works just fine with kernel 2.6.25-r7. However, if I
boot kernel 2.6.26 or 2.6.27 and try to watch TV or scan channels, it is locked
to last watched channel. The problem can be solved by loading mt2060 driver directly, and 2.6.28 seemed to fix the problem, but 2.6.29 re-introduces it again. This time, mt2060 module is loaded but channels are still locked.

bug #245106 was the situation that occurred before

Have you tested with later kernels? 2.6.30? and if that fails, 2.6.31_rcX-rX

Tested with gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4 and git-sources-2.6.31-rc5-git3.
Generally, the result is the same.
In both cases, modules mt2060, dib7000p, dib7000m, and dib3000mc were loaded.

After checking out Mythbuntu installation that works fine on my hardware, I've added the following to my /etc/modprobe.d/options.conf file:

options usbcore autosuspend=-1
options dvb-usb disable_rc_polling=1
options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1
options dib3000mc buggy_sfn_workaround=1

I'm not sure what options are actually fixing the problem, though. But now everything works fine. Tested with kernels 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
