That is odd. I don't suppose restarting the mythbackend service fixes the
issue?

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

MythTV causes problem with DVB-T card firmware. Symptoms are as follows:

1) After mythtv installation everything works fine for many restarts (few days)

2) Suddenly, firmware is not loaded. dmesg gives 
tda1004x: timeout waiting for DSP ready
tda1004x: found firmware revision 80 -- invalid
tda1004x: firmware upload failed

3) Uninstall and reinstall of mythtv package revert this state so card (and mythtv) is working again well. dmesg gives
tda1004x: found firmware revision 20 -- ok

I repeated this 1-2-3 cycle three or four times since karmic-koala install.
