Unreliable tuning with HVR-950q

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I set up a Hauppauge HVR-950q on Ubuntu Intrepid, kernel 2.6.27-2.  It
works out of the box except that it can only achieve a lock maybe 50%
of the time.  Once it gets the lock, it's perfect.  Never loses it, no
signal issues whatsoever.  I live so close to the tower, though, that
I don't see why it wouldn't tune 100% of the time.

Is there any way to debug this?  Is the transmitter overpowering my
card?  I tried both the crappy antenna that came with the 950q and a
6.5 dB indoor picture frame antenna, no difference.

Thanks!
