[mythtv-users] HD3000 Firmware loading/unloading problem

Sun Oct 21 19:07:09 UTC 2007

My system's Over The Air (OTA) signal is 0% after boot. This occurs
once in every four boots (approx). The signal remains at 0% for every
boot thereafter.

If unplug the computer from power, wait a few minutes, and reboot.
Then the card becomes operational again.

Equipment:
OS: Knoppmyth R5F27
CPU: AMD Athlon64
Capture Card #1: pcHDTV HD3000
Capture Card #2: Hauppauge PVR-150

Relevant dmesg output from when the system is working properly and
also from when it is not working below.

Thanks All
