Hello, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Server (amd64) and I have a "Devico FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital". It is a PCI-card but the second tuner is plugged in thru USB2.
The first tuner (PCI-based) is working properly. I can tune signals, watch livetv with it and I have not found any error messages when using it alone. The PIC-tuner is located at "/dev/dvb/adapter0"
The second tuner is only found in cold state during boot and is not activated. To solve that I had to download the "bluebird"-firmware from http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw and save it in /lib/firmware.

When I do a cold boot with the firmware available the second tuner (USB-tuner) is found but I sometimes receive this message during boot: "dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -71 (2/0)". The tuner is found and activated anyway and I see the second tuner as "/dev/dvb/adapter1" with the same nodes/files as the PCI-tuner (demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0). I have not tried to use it yet.

When the computer has been online, idling, for some short random time (typically 10-15 minutes) I start to get floods of the following error message in the consol (typically one per second): "dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -110 (1/0)".

If I do a warm reboot I sometime reboot fine (without error messages shown at boottime) and sometimes with some similar error messages. I have seen "-71", "-22" and "-110".

During a forum-search I found this tread, but it does not seams related to my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373192

Bug #78949 seems to be related to this one, but its old and not for my hardware.
