has the machine been into sleep/hibernation?
TBS/V4l doesnt like to resume from low power modes, and you have to unload the tbs drivers (modprobe -r cx23885), and reload them for the card to establish a lock.

fresh boots arent affected by this issue though.

spookybird (or anyone!) - how did you handle the fwd/rewind/pause/play feature in that config?
my 6981 remote does not have such features...

well thats good news.
i'd like things to be fully working for mythtv 0.25 (a while off i think though), and i believe it will need a later kernel (as that in *buntu 11.04)

out of curiosity, where did you hear that info from, okbet?

i'm not sure if your more skilled than i am (it wouldnt be hard!), but maybe implement the patch code given in this bug thread: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/930442/

i cant help with your exact issues, but for me, it was a case of the following: install mythbuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-22 kernel) configure LIRC for the mceusb device during the mythbuntu install disable ubuntu repos (without updates; if you do update, ensure the linux kernel headers are NOT being updated)...

I get that, but when you highlight UNCONNECTED and hit enter, you get your choice. yeah, select 'Disconnected', hit enter, and then select LNB. job done. that one had me stumped for a while on first setup of mythtv ; i didnt realise that i needed to select it first ;) if your hibernate/sleeping myt...

found the bug post... https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/930442/

fwiw, Jarod Wilson is involved in LIRC (i think developer!).

the immediate fix is to use a 2.6.22 kernel (i use mythtv, so mythbuntu10.10 without kernel updates). i did find a bug thread reguarding the mce issue, and this appears not to be specific to the rc_core LIRC module, but infact an old bug that just so happened to be included in the latest LIRC. i've ...

unfortunately, i didnt find a way. i gave up after the response from TBS support some people suggest using the TBS IR receiver instead of the mceusb device, however the TBS IR is hugely limited in it's functions versus the MCEUSB codeset. as much as the latest ubuntu version would be nice to use (ju...
