</div>My Nova TD stopped being reliable when I upgraded to 0.25. Do you know what<br>
you were on before the 0.26 upgrade?<br>

</div>I've failed to find a working magic incantation myself. I have found that<br>
tuning with tzap always works, but unfortunately strace does not decode the<br>
structures passed to the v4l frontend ioctl() call, so I've not seen if<br>
there's any difference in how mythbackend does the tune.<br>

What fixed it for me was ensuring EIT was only enabled on one of it's dual tuners, if it was enabled on both, then recordings failed, but just on one and its been perfect since. Apart from when it disappears completely and the Linux system can't see it at all until I have rebooted 10 times!!<br>
