Hi!

Finally I got a new device from pinnacle support today. I plugged it 
into the computer and the modules loaded fine (without an error).
But now I have another problem. I scaned for channels and this works 
fine. After that I tried to tune. First try was "ProSieben HD" (Astra 
19,2° E). I got a lock on this channel.
After this tuning (it works one time) I could never scan any more or 
tune to a channel.

This is the syslog from scanning for channels:

(these are the last lines, if you need others, please mail me).

Is there something that I can do?? It works one time scanning and one 
time tuning, after that never more (even after some reboots and plugging 
power off the device).
I don't know if I am doing anything wrong, because one time it works...

thx,

Jens
