Thanks guys....<br><br>Just to let you know that I've had an exchange of emails with Jurgen who wrote the original patch last year, he's written an update which has been merged into the current git of V4L. In theory if you build V4L yourself it should all now work cleanly, I'll try it over the weekend and update here.<br>
<br>Regards and have a good weekend.<div><div><br><br><br>On Friday, 8 February 2013, Andre Newman <<a href="mailto:mythtv-list@dinkum.org.uk" target="_blank">mythtv-list@dinkum.org.uk</a>> wrote:<br>

After that it all works as normal, without femon, at least in my experience. The existing ticket was closed because it's seen as an upstream problem, but it still causes anguish.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br></div></div><div>For I have been running two Nova-TD USB tuners on my mythsetup with no problems for several years with Mythbuntu 11.04/MythTV0.24 on a Revo 3610.</div><div><br></div><div>The only problems recently are since going to 12.04LTS/MythTV 0.25 (and now 0.26) in that after starting mythbackend the tuners fail to lock and only get a partial lock the first time and thus recordings/liveTV fail.
