[linux-dvb] Re: New twist on nova-s/stv0299 issue

[Mark Reiche <mark.reiche@gmx.de>]

I'm trying to build a VDR without a full featured card, so I do not own 
a Nexus (and therefore don't have the option to play with the order of 
driver loading).  The problem is that the card doesn't provide any data 
at all (if windows was not started before).

I also don't think that there is a tuner problem because the card tunes 
correctly in any case (at least it reports so)
