I have what sounds like the same problem with a Nova-T (v1.2
with Grundig FE).

On boot up everything loads fine but I can't get any data from
the card. If I try 'dvbscan -t706M' for example it will just time
out. If I do a soft reboot then it will work properly.

I have a script setting the PCI latency to 128 upon bootup, if
I don't do this it never works.

I am using kernel 2.4.24 and have tried the 1.0.2 and the 1.1
drivers recently. I can't say how long this has been happening
since I'm setting up a new system and have never had it working
properly. A couple of months ago in another box with 2.4.22
and the DVB drivers it was perfect.
