Hi,
I've been trying to sort out some signal issues I have been having. I
was using tzap and running this on 4 terminals.
I noticed today when I tried this that it seemed that the tzap output
had moved round.

I have 2 x Nova-T cards and 1 x TwinHan AzureWave AD-TU700(704J) (dual tuner)

It seems that one of the tuners in the USB TwinHan is not showing a
FE_HAS_LOCK status. Anyway, this tuner had moved to a different spot
this
morning.
So I looked in my /var/log/messages and noticed that after I rebooted
it the USB tuner had moved.

Here is the relevant output from messages.1 (before yesterdays reboot)

Dec 23 15:45:35 myth1 kernel: [    8.012054] DVB: registering adapter
0 frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...
Dec 23 15:45:35 myth1 kernel: [    8.017821] DVB: registering adapter
1 frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...
Dec 23 15:45:35 myth1 kernel: [    8.575631] DVB: registering adapter
2 frontend 0 (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T)...
Dec 23 15:45:35 myth1 kernel: [    9.334131] DVB: registering adapter
3 frontend 0 (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T)..

And same after reboot:-

Dec 27 13:57:08 myth1 kernel: [    5.675644] DVB: registering adapter
0 frontend 0 (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T)...
Dec 27 13:57:08 myth1 kernel: [    6.199271] DVB: registering adapter
1 frontend 0 (Afatech AF9013 DVB-T)...
Dec 27 13:57:08 myth1 kernel: [    7.166019] DVB: registering adapter
2 frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...
Dec 27 13:57:08 myth1 kernel: [    7.174526] DVB: registering adapter
3 frontend 0 (Conexant CX22702 DVB-T)...


I suppose this is nothing to bother about really but it makes this odd
problem I am having harder to track down :)

Anyway I am still unsure why the first tuner on the dual usb stick is
not registering a LOCK as they are both fed the same aerial.


Thanks

Mike
