Comment 126 for bug 439163

hello

here is my history with this bug:

- ubuntu 8.04 rock solid
- upgrade to 10.04 with 2.6.32-22 - disaster (too many other problems to list here, but HVR-1300 is one problem)
- go insane for 1 week trying to fix
- finally download v4l-dvb-20100130 from kewl.org and install
- intermittent problems with 1300 still... mythbackend scan only finds "probable" channels, no lock or partial lock when trying live TV, etc.

Eventually i noticed that one patch Gunni had reverted was the "cx88: HVR1300 ensure switching from Encoder to DVB-T and back is reliable" as seen in http://<email address hidden>/msg04710.html. I noticed that this patch is NOT reverted in v4l-dvb-20100130, but the other patch Gunni suggested reverting (http://<email address hidden>/msg02195.html) IS reverted in 20100130.

So this made me think. I had been using the V4L analog tuner in my mythbackend setup. and it would always be the first tuner used by frontend when i started live TV to do testing. And analog would always work, but digital/dvb would then never work (wn i switched via live tv menu "Switch Input" option). so i thought maybe using analog first and switching to digital was the problem.

so i removed the analog tuner from my back end setup and now digital works!!

a couple of things i could now try:

1. add analog back into backend, change card priorities so that when i test in LiveTV it doesn't start in analog, then try switching from digital to analog and back again (instead of other way around which i know fails)
2. revert patch in my copy of the 20100130 source, recompile, try switching from analog to digital again

here is my latest dmesg:
