Comment 30 for bug 229879

I had the same bug with Mythbuntu 9.04 and Dvico Dual Digital 4 rev 2.
I saw from another thread the opinion that it was due to the -ETIMEOUT
value which was short in Ubuntu/Mythbuntu compared to Archlinux. I
erased mythbuntu and installed Linhes (which is based on Arch). The
problem disappeared.

Bug description:
Hello, I am running Ubuntu 8.04 Server (amd64) and I have a "Devico
FusionHDTV DVB-T Dual Digital". It is a PCI-card but the second tuner is
plugged in thru USB2.
The first tuner (PCI-based) is working properly. I can tune signals,
watch livetv with it and I have not found any error messages when using
it alone. The PIC-tuner is located at "/dev/dvb/adapter0"
The second tuner is only found in cold state during boot and is not
activated. To solve that I had to download the "bluebird"-firmware from
http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-bluebird-01.fw and
save it in /lib/firmware.

When I do a cold boot with the firmware available the second tuner
(USB-tuner) is found but I sometimes receive this message during boot:
"dvb-usb: bulk message failed: -71 (2/0)". The tuner is found and
activated anyway and I see the second tuner as "/dev/dvb/adapter1" with
the same nodes/files as the PCI-tuner (demux0, dvr0, frontend0, net0). I
have not tried to use it yet.

When the computer has been online, idling, for some short random time
(typically 10-15 minutes) I start to get floods of the following error
message in the consol (typically one per second): "dvb-usb: bulk message
failed: -110 (1/0)".

If I do a warm reboot I sometime reboot fine (without error messages
shown at boottime) and sometimes with some similar error messages. I
have seen "-71", "-22" and "-110".

During a forum-search I found this tread, but it does not seams related
to my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=373192

Bug #78949 seems to be related to this one, but its old and not for my
hardware.
