Hi there

You probably get this a lot, with the latest and greatest drivers from your git repository at Steve Tosh's website I get the following after a few days

[198934.085303] tda18271_write_regs: [4-0060|S] ERROR: idx = 0x5, len = 1, i2c_transfer returned: -5

[198934.087220] tda10048_readreg: readreg error (ret == -5)

My tuning software is tvheadend (which I would prefer to keep)

I started to look at the sourcecode, but I know too little about I2C to make any sense of what might be bugging out

Is there anything I can do to avoid this ?

Just an FYI: that doesn't actually look like an i2c problem or some other problem with the tuner or demodulator. It looks like the saa7164 itself is wedged.

... The driver or the chip itself ?, would it help if I posted the lspci -vv for the card ?
