Hi, I have following system:
- two Technisat Airstar2 PCI card (budget cards)
- one Technisat Skystar2 (budget card)
- Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT
- Sempron 2800+
- ASUS motherboard
- gentoo (updated to half a week old snapshot)
- kernel 2.6.12-gentoo-r6
- udev 064
- vdr 1.3.27
-- softdevice cvs (31.7.)
I feed input of the second card from output of the first, to which input I feed the terrestial antenna signal. If I feed output of the second card to TV, I get proper picture as long as the computer is on.
My problem is that while I record one program, and change channel to another, which is not in the same channel transponder (?/multiplexer) as the one is recorded, I get the error: device 3 has no lock, can't attach receiver.
I've had a similar problem with two AirStar2 PCI cards, the output of the first card was connected to the input of the second card. However, the card's output seems to have a problem with the 5 Volts remote power supply (for active antennas) coming from the other card's input. I suspected a hardware defect, but the two cards were working when I feeded them separately. I've bought a splitter and connected the two cards in parallel - everything is working fine now!
