[linux-dvb] Re: budget DVB-S the neverending problem....

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

It is an Hauppauge WinTV Nova-S SE; with AFAIK a philips tuner. I know 
that such a card is not supposed to have a firmware, but this was just a 
try to explain the strange behavior.

Instead I could also say, the windows driver seems to do some kind of 
"magic" to the card the makes it work - even under linux, provided there 
was no cold boot inbetween. That is why I am looking for a way to 
conserve this "enchanted" state, so to be able to do some similiar 
"magic" under linux...

And my hope is, that among this list, there is some developer with more 
knowledge than me (which is not that hard...) who could give me a hint...

Thanks,
Mark
