Hi,

I've been watching and recording free channels for almost a couple of
year with this card, using MythTV, but suddenly some weeks ago I
couldn't any more.

I thought it was a problem with the signal in my region, but it could
not be the case, since I still can watch TV perfectly fine with the same
dish and a set top box.

Also, at present MythTV says "signal 98%, s/n 4.8db", which sounds
strange.

Last but not least, femon -H gives the following output:

FE: Conexant CX24123/CX24109 (DVBS)
Problem retrieving frontend information: Operation not supported
status S     | signal  44% | snr  64% | ber 35 | unc 0 |

Problem retrieving frontend information: Operation not supported
status S     | signal  44% | snr  62% | ber 35 | unc 0 | 

The lines about a problem are new to me: I ran femon many many times in
the past without those lines. Please also note the completely different
value for the strength (44% vs 98% that MythTV says).

I'm afraid my card could be damaged, or something is going wrong with
driver, config or what else.

What's going on?

Any hint would be much appreciated.

Andrea
