[root@media1 gnutv]# ./gnutv -cammenu en50221_tl_poll: CAWrite failed en50221_stdcam_llci_poll: Error reported by stack:-2

It is indeed not flaky hardware as i wrote earlier. -2 is timeout. It is due to a bug in debiread/write

-2 is not timeout but read/write error. What CAM are you using? - And is

this

running on a SMP (Core Duo, etc) system? With some CAMs I ran into trouble with read/write errors, but that was on initialising. It helped to simply outcomment the checks for STATUSREG_RE

in

dvb_ca_en50221.c. You might try that, though it will also break correct error-detection.

I'm using an Irdeto 2 CAM. Have installed the same v4l-dvb drivers on 2 different machines with the same results. One is an Intel P2 350, the other a P4 Dell GX260.

Which lines should I comment in dvb_ca_en50221.c ???

[root@media2 v4l-dvb]# find . | grep dvb_ca_en50221.c ./linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvb_ca_en50221.c ./v4l/dvb_ca_en50221.c
