Yes, that worked for me!<br>
<br>
I used a udev link /dev/input/by-path/xxx for the lirc device (the<br>
link was there anyway on my Mandriva box - but I didn't notice that
before)<br>
and now unloading/reloading the usb dvb modules results in a working<br>
lircd afterwards :-)<br>
<br>
At least it's a usable workaround for the Nova-TD / Nova-T 500 USB<br>
stick problems - may help others as well.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the tips,<br>

<pre wrap="">you should use udev for that:
- load lirc module
- check for some of udev variables (idVendor) and make an udev rule
you can find an example in the mythtv wiki info on how to do it for
the an other remote, but the way is the same:

and just put the right value in lircd starting command, for example like this:
lircd --device=/dev/lirc_remote

<pre wrap=""> Cool idea, thanks!
The only problem I see is that the device name of the remote control
receiver changes when the module is reloaded, is it? I already tried
this manually before, and my /dev/input/event2 device (used by lircd)
was /dev/input/event5 after the module reload... do you also have a
workaround for this behaviour? Just stopping lircd didn't seem to help.
Thx,

you can make shell script which checks every few hours is the mythtv
busy, and if not, you can reload firmware/modules. you can do it with
something like that.
----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null
if [ $? == 0 ]; then
## reload firmware/modules
else
sleep 180
mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null
while [ $? == 0 ]; then
sleep 180
mythshutdown -s 1 -v all | grep 'status returned: 0' >/dev/null
fi
## reload firmware/modules
fi

this can be written nicer with subroutines to prevent repeating
commands, but it is just an idea so you can see what I am talking
about.

Hi Stephen,
I bought a Hauppauge Nova-TD (dual tuner / diversity) USB2 stick some weeks
ago.
Works under Linux and Myth with current (mercurial) dvb drivers and a
specific
firmware file - but for me the device only works for the first 24 hours...
I have great reception, but when I leave the backend idle for 12-24 hours,
and then try to use the device again, it consistently fails to tune any
channel.
A reboot / reload of the firmware seems necessary to get it back to
operation.
AFAICT this looks like a firmware problem, because the drivers work very
well for
the first couple of hours. dmesg gives no hints. I guess I'll wait for
updates
on <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.linuxtv.org">www.linuxtv.org</a>... It's a quite new device...
In general I'm happy with all my Hauppauge USB devices (especially the
remote
controls are really good), this Nova-TD is the first one I saw where Linux
support seems not that stable - yet ;-)
Just my 2 cents.
Mark

Betreff: [mythtv-users] DVB-T USB dual-tuners in Mythtv?
Hi,
I'm switching to a frontend/backend architecture and the backend's PCI slot
is already full. I am going to need to use a USB DVB-T tuner and I was
hoping to get one of the new ones that include a dual tuner.
Has anyone had any success with one of the following devices or can
recommend another one that works? If there is no support for dual tuners,
can someone recommend an inexpensive but reliable single USB DVB-T tuner?
DigitalNow TinyTwin Dual Digital USB Receiver/LifeView TV Walker Twin
Twinhan Dual Tuner DVB-T USB2.0
Thanks!
