Thanks a lot Gunni it's working now!

I have made a patch to ease the process instead of manually commenting
those lines. I'm wondering, why this workaround cannot be merged into
the v4l tree, what is preventing to solve this bug since 2009-09-30?


Here I left some instructions to other with this problem, download the attachment to this post and follow these steps:

1- Download v4l source code from repository:
     hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
2- Copy the patch file to v4l-dvb/linux/drivers/media/video/cx88/
3- Apply the patach
    patch cx88-dvb.c cx88-dvb.c.patch
4- Go back to the root v4l-dvb folder and compile v4l:
    make
5- If on ubuntu, make sure to remove FireDTV modules, for that do:
    make menuconfig
6- Install the drivers:
    sudo make install

Now reboot, and it should be working.

Bug description:
This is a continuation of bug #436564. Please refer to that for relevant dmesg'.
The capture card I have is the Hauppauge HVR-1300.
The card is now correctly recognized as DVB-T but channel scan fails with message "Timed out, no signal" at each channel is scanned.
The command scan <location> > channels.conf ends correcly and file channels.conf is feeded with all tunable channels.
I tried to import such channels.conf with the same result.
Increasing the signal and channel timeout in the DVB settings (now up to 1000 but I planned to increase to ignore) doesnt solve the problem.
Tonight I will try what Marc suggested - mythtv-setup --verbose channelscan,siparser,channel,record - then I will report the log.
