This sounds like exactly the problem that I have.  I can sometimes get it
back doing the trick you mention, but not more often than 1 in 10 times.
Usually it just dies permanently and only comes back when I reload the
dvbtt-pci module

I'm interested in a reference to your patch for frontend taking a while to
lock?  My card takes about the same time to lock (second or so) as my set
top box, but it seems pretty slow to me, especially as the card is often
already on the right multi-plex...

Could you send me a link perhaps?
