Load average returns within the 0.0x range when unloading all the dvb related modules, so this issue is definitely caused by the dongle stuff (can't say exactely what). By the way, same behaveour with both dvb-usb-dib0700-1.20.fw and dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw. Any suggestions? Well, I'd like to ask one more question about this tiny dongle (although it would probably be better to move it in a second mail): is it possible to put the USB stick a low power state when not used? I'm not sure whether this feature is already present or not, but I know that under windows the light in the dongle turns on only when watching TV, while with linux it is always on. I'm a little bit afraid this persistent full power state will shorten its life. Is this nonsense? Regards, Marco Chiappero [1] I use to plot system informations. _______________________________________________ linux-dvb users mailing list For V4L/DVB development, please use instead linux-media@vger.kernel.org linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
