Is the a maximum number of dvb frontends. As I can't get more the 8 to register, all the devices work separately but after the 8th device registers calls to dvb_register_adapter() fail with errno -23. If there is a set limit is there away to change it a run time, or is it a matter of altering some defines and rebuilding the kernel. If some one could point me in the correct direction I would appreciate it as much googling has turned up no useful leads.

Source code change and recompile. The maximal number is defined as MAX_DVB_ADAPTERS in drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvbdev.h.
