Post subject:  WinTV-NOVA-T firmware upload problems

I'm having problems to get firmware uploaded correctly. Sometimes it succeeds ok:
Code:
tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-tda10045.fw)...
tda1004x: firmware upload complete
tda1004x: found firmware revision 2c -- ok


but most of the reboots it fails:
Code:
tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
tda1004x: waiting for firmware upload (dvb-fe-tda10045.fw)...
tda1004x: firmware upload complete
tda1004x: found firmware revision 0 -- invalid
tda1004x: firmware upload failed


I have dvb-fe-tda10045.fw copied to both /lib/firmware/ and /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/. Any ideas why it's failing?

The problem is that i'm really rarely able to watch live tv or record live tv. Most of the time MythTV complains that "No channel lock" or similar.

I'm now running R5E50, but the same problem has been there for R5C7 and R5D1.

lspci -v gives always:
Code:
00:14.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Technotrend Systemtechnik GmbH Technotrend-Budget/Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-T DVB card
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at d6003000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]


Help please!

I just noticed that even when the firmware is loaded correctly, scan fails:

Code:

This same problem has existed in earlier versions also, but scanning has succeeded always at some point. Now with R5E50 it hasn't succeeded ever! (did a automatic upgrade from R5D1)
