Bug 808871

The latest kernel version (3.3.0-8.fc16.i686.PAE) is also having this problem.

Can confirm this Bug with a DVB-S2 card (Hauppauge Nova HD S2), last working kernel for me is 3.2.10-3.fc16.i686.PAE (Bug exists on 3.3.0-4 and 3.3.0-8).

I also have the same problem, on a 64bit kernel: it worked great up to 3.3.0.

I can also confirm, also affects Radio over dvb-s (which I use). My Card:

06:01.0 Network controller: Techsan Electronics Co Ltd B2C2 FlexCopII DVB chip / Technisat SkyStar2 DVB card (rev 02)
06:01.0 0280: 13d0:2103 (rev 02)
Working Kernel for me is: 3.2.10-3.fc16.x86_64.

With kernel-PAE-3.3.1-2.fc16.i686.rpm the bug is still there.

The patch given at 

http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/19/305

indeed fixes it for me.

Went through http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel
section "Building Only Kernel Modules"

This was not too hard (well I made my own kernels in the 90's).

Thanks for testing it! Anyway, I'm building a Fedora test kernel with this fix
applied on it:

   http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3977370

As I was needing the az6007 driver in order to test it locally, I decided to apply not only the fixes, but also to upgrade the media drivers to match what will be there for Kernel 3.4, plus a new driver for 3.5 (af9035 driver), and the new poll events used by the pwc driver (also patches for 3.5).

After Koji finishes the build, I'll do a local test before moving this BZ to modified.

Tested the built kernel with xine. It worked as expected.

I too confirm that it works with kernel-3.3.1-5.

then log in and leave karma (feedback).

I did not install the testing kernel yet but (there is mostly everytime a little"but" ;-) there is one smaller bug left in my modified version.

I am using DVB-S only and everything so long o.k. until I want to switch back from a DVB-S2 (HD-TV) channel back to a DVB-S  (SD-TV) channel.

Then "kaffeine" gets stuck and after a while I get a "read error from:" box.

After that video and audio is dead, EPG works. I can only change back to HD channels, but SD is dead unless I reload my "cx88" kernel module.

kernel-3.3.1-5.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

That sounds to be a different bug. It can either be a bug at Kaffeine or at the Kernel drivers.

Please, open a separate BZ for it, filling it with the Kernel logs. The better is to load dvb-core, cx88 and the frontend drivers with debug enabled (via modprobe parameters).

Also, please try to manually switch back to DVB-S via dvb-fe-tool (part of v4l-utils version 0.8.7).

I can confirm the problem switching vom DVB-S2 to DVB-S with new Fedora kernel 3.3.1-5.fc16.x86_64. I am using here a TeVii 470 DVB-S2 an kaffeine 1.2.2-1. 

I think, the problem has something to do with kernel changes, as if i boot my system with the older kernel 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64 everything is ok.

kernel-PAE-3.3.1-5.fc16.i686 works fine with my Hauppauge Nova-S Plus. Thanks.

Kernel 3.3.1-5.fc16.x86_64 still has problems with 
Pinnacle PCTV Sat Card and Terratec Cinergy S USB Device.

Both working fine with Kernel 3.2.9-2.fc16.x86_64.

There is an additional issue when switching back from DVB-S2 to DVB-S.
Please see this BZ:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812895

There is a test kernel with the patch fixing this bug at:
    http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4000290

If the Kernel proposed there doesn't fix the issue, then please open a
separate BZ, attaching the frontend logs (see the comments at BZ#812895)
for us to be able to verify what's happening.
