dvb-utils' scan causes hardlock (hauppauge nova-t usb2 stick)
Hi all
I'm installing mythtv on my laptop. Everything's on, I've managed to get my Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T USB2 Stick installed, configured, and working. Or so I thought. When I use dvb-utils to scan for channels from my local transponder (Emley moor, uk) it runs for about 30 seconds before I get a hardlock. I can view tv through xine fine, and because its a hardlock i can't find out what might be the cause. Can anyone help? |
I've managed to get some output from dmesg by scanning for channels through mythtv. Here's the output:
Code:

Scratch that last one - got a better response from dmesg:
Code:
[17179785.236000] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 000001dc |
I think I've sorted it. I noticed that when I restarted my laptop, I could do a dvb-utils `scan` once. Second time, I'd get a hardlock.
In mythtv, I told it to use quite a long delay between scans, then after a restart used it to scan for channels. It worked first time, so I saved the changes and its been running fine since. |
