[linux-dvb] problems with Nova-T card in UK with new DVB driver

[Simon Moore <Simon.Moore@cl.cam.ac.uk>]

I've tried a few versions of the DVB driver and VDR.  Using various
pre-NEWSTRUCT drivers with VDR 1.1.13 works well.  Using the
linux-dvb.2003-04-27 DVB driver from the VDR Developer FTP site + VDR
1.1.29 (similarly for some earlier versions of VDR and earlier
NEWSTRUCT drivers) gives the following behaviour using a Nova-T card
in the UK:
* tuning into BBC1 works well
* tuning into BBC2, BBC3 and BBC NEWS24 (on the same multiplex)
  rarely locks on
* tuing to BBC4 which is on another multiplex works well
* BBC radio stations work well
* other channels usually work well, though I've seem some odd
  behaviour after VDR has difficulty locking onto a BBC multiplex

Any clues as to what I should try next?  Are other people having
similar problems?
