Mark, I'm not sure what system you're using, but I had the issue with Fedora
17 and the HVR-2250. I set up some modprobe blacklisting and custom systemd
units to ensure the saa7164 module loads later in the boot and I have no
issue. I'll re-examine the necessity of this process when I upgrade to F18.
Automating the process described here http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-
users/2012-July/336676.html
## /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-saa7164.conf
blacklist dvb_core
blacklist saa7164
## /etc/systemd/system/saa7164.service
[Unit]
Description=saa7164 firmware loader service
Wants=basic.target
After=basic.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/modprobe saa7164 ; /usr/bin/sleep 3
RemainAfterExit=1
[Install]
WantedBy=saa7164.target
## /etc/systemd/system/saa7164.target
[Unit]
Description=saa7164 firmware
Documentation=man:systemd.special(7)
I also added the following lines to /etc/systemd/system/mythbackend.service
(lines may be wrapped):
[Unit]
After=saa7164.target dev-dvb-adapter0-frontend0.device dev-dvb-adapter1-
frontend0.device dev-vbi0.device dev-video0.device
