[mythtv-users] Recorder stopped working

[Grzegorz Sikorski]

Hi,

I have a MythTV 0.28 (Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS) setup based on TBS 6281 that used
to work in the UK. I have moved to Poland and try to run my recorder again.
Unfortunately, the setup does not seem to work anymore, as the mythtv
backend reports "unknown error" for both my dvb adapters. I tried to do a
system update and recompiled the kernel drivers. All went fine, modules
loaded properly, two devices appeared in /dev/dvb, but when I try to check
the device details I have an error message as below:

$ sudo lsdvb

lsdvb: Simple utility to list PCI/PCIe DVB devices
Version: 0.0.4

SAA716x Budget (1131:7160 6281:1) on PCI Domain:0 Bus:2 Device:0 Function:0
DEVICE:0 ADAPTER:0 ERROR: Open frontend0 failed


I suspect the tuner card must be broken somehow, perhaps during transport,
but would like to rule all other possibilities out before spending money on
the new card. Could anybody suggest what else could be done to confirm
hardware problem?

Thanks,
Greg
