Bug#390608: linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64: unable to tune on cx88 DVB cards in 2.6.18
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.18-1
Severity: normal
When I use mplayer to try to watch digital TV here in Australia, it no
longer is able to tune the channel, timing out after 30 seconds. I have
a DViCo FusionHDTV DVB-T1 (cx88 driver). This previously worked on
2.6.16-18 but no longer works on 2.6.18-1. I've downgraded for now to
the 2.6.17-9 kernel, which doesn't exhibit the problem.
I've seen some reference to potential breakage in the -rc versions of
the 2.6.18 kernel at http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-September/012639.html but I'm unsure of the current state.
