Erm, yes I am running it under linux as well.  Where are you getting the new
firmware from though if not from the windows driver?  I wasn't aware that it
was distributed any other way?

I have checked and I am still getting crashes with the latest firmware and a
cvs driver circa 24/6/03

I think I am confused about arm vs other crashes.  My symptoms are that
tuning stops working, ie tzap stops doing anything, blank picture in vdr,
nothing can be read from /dev/dvb.../ - So basically nothing is coming out
of the card as far as I can tell.  I haven't tried replaying mpeg streams,
but yes, OSD still works in this circumstance.

So is this not an ARM crash?  If its a front end lockup does this point more
at driver issues than firmware issues?

Thanks for any insight
