Can someone explain what's happening here with linux 2.6.7 and the
latest bttv driver from bytesex.org and my avermedia DVB-T card? It's
working but not well enough to set and forget.

Basically it's working, but it isn't reliable. Sometimes (eventually)
it will just stop tuning until the bttv driver is reloaded manually.

When I use the i2c_hw=1 option in my modprobe.conf file, the bttv 
modules
load, but the dvb modules don't seem to identify a frontend. 

options bttv            bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1 i2c_hw=1

When the bttv module loads as [sw] it produces a Microtune frontend
and works for a couple of hours.
