Hi,

after upgrading from 2.6.39.4 to 3.1.1., my usb dvb-t receiver started
having tuning problems.  Tuning with 'tzap' now randomly fails, as does
'scan'.

Of course I cannot rule out that the hardware is starting to wear down,
or that there are problems on the transmission side, but these problems
started after upgrading my kernel, so I thought I'd ask here.

Googeling for any changes, I so far only found this commit that affects
the vp7045 driver:

http://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/258/ (committed as
f2685ef0fbc5fff0a8f1cdc204bf37ab0c9a04a7)

This is the output I get from 'tzap' when it fails:
  __

Any ideas?

Did a few more tests.  The tuning problems with my USB DVB-t card also
show with kernel 3.0.9 and 3.1.4.  If I boot into 2.6.39.4 the card
still works flawlessly as before.  All the kernels tested were built
with the same kernel .config (plus changes introduced by 'yes ""|make
oldconfig').

So I'd say this regression is real.  Is there anything else I can do to
help diagnose the problem?  Should this report go into kernel.org
bugzilla?

cheers,

David
