[linux-dvb] VDR cant tune to channels (dvb-t)

[Dave Collett <jg@webone.com.au>]

Hi all,
I have a nova-t dvb card.
vdr does not display any channels, all I get is a blank screen (menus
(OSD) works fine). It is as if vdr cannot tune to the channels. The card
works fine with all other tuning applications I have tried, eg. tzap,
dvbtune etc. And I get perfect video with the latest mplayer and xine
which include dvb support (these apps can tune and display channels
correctly).

I have done a little research and it seems others have had similar
problems. Some posts suggested to try tuning the card with dvbtune
before starting vdr. If I do this i CAN get the channel that dvbtune
just tuned to. But I cant get any others.  

/var/log/syslog displays the following when I change channel:

Sep 10 20:11:06 timmy vdr[2170]: switching to channel 5
Sep 10 20:11:06 timmy vdr[2206]: transfer thread ended (pid=2206)
Sep 10 20:11:07 timmy vdr[2207]: receiver thread ended on device 1
(pid=2207)
Sep 10 20:11:07 timmy vdr[2170]: buffer stats: 0 (0%) used
Sep 10 20:11:07 timmy vdr[2208]: transfer thread started (pid=2208)
Sep 10 20:11:07 timmy vdr[2174]: ERROR: frontend 0: Invalid argument
Sep 10 20:11:07 timmy vdr[2209]: receiver thread started on device 1
(pid=2209)

/var/log/messages:
Sep 10 20:11:06 timmy vdr[2170]: switching to channel 5

Before I delve into the code to try and diagnose this "Invalid
arguement" error, has anyone encountered this problem, or have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Dave
