[linux-dvb] Firmware Crashes using Technotrends Full featured card.

["Adrian P Challinor" <adrian.challinor@osiris.co.uk>]

Hi, I am newbie at getting LinuxDVB going, and I guess I'm a little stuck. I
am really sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, if it has then I didn't
get the message - sorry, I searched google and the mail archive without any
solution I could understand. 
 

I have a new box, running kernel 2.6.2-3, with the DVB kernel drives built
from linux-dvb-1.1.0. I have a TechnoTrends DVB-T card and DVB-S card
installed. Firmware being loaded is dbv-ttpci-01.fw. Tuner firmware was
downloaded from AverMedia this afternoon and loaded as "Sc_main.mc".

What ever I do, - it seems that when I try to get the DVB-T card (0) to tune
to a station it gives me a firmware crash. The module load script I use is: 

modprobe videodev
modprobe v4l1-compat
modprobe v4l2-common
modprobe video-buf
modprobe dvb-core
modprobe ves1x93
modprobe alps_tdlb7
modprobe alps_tdmb7
modprobe stv0299
modprobe ves1820
modprobe tda1004x
modprobe saa7146
modprobe saa7146_vv
modprobe ttpci-eeprom
modprobe dvb-ttpci

I then try to do a scan: 

./scan dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace | tee mychannels.conf
scanning dvb-t/uk-CrystalPalace
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
Frontend can not do INVERSION_AUTO, trying INVERSION_OFF instead
initial transponder 505833333 0 3 0 1 0 0 0
>>> tune to:
505833333:INVERSION_OFF:BANDWIDTH_8_MHZ:FEC_3_4:FEC_NONE:QAM_16:TRANSMISSION

I know I have something wrong, and it must be simple, but what is it?
