[linux-dvb] Re: dvbtune problem on Redhat 8.0/Mandrake 9.0

[bigg <bigg@mba4.org>]

This isn't much help, but I had the exact same problem over the
weekend. It was discussed about a month ago on the list, but as far as I
could tell, no one came up with any kind of useful solution.

I also had it returning data for not just one wrong transponder, but at
times it also returned the details for a totally different transponder..
