Stuart,
I have found that some dvb cards from various kernel versions require
re-opening in mythbackend after recovery from S3. This is certainly
true of the Nova-S and tbs6981 with kernels from 2.6.36 thru 3.0. It's
especially important if some dvb modules have to be unloaded for
suspend. Does this patch cater for that? At present I use an ACPI
script to restart the backend which is clumsy.
