Hi Sebastian,
Which Linux-DVB-API use you, version 3 or version 5? Use you 
FE_SET-PROPERTY/FE-GET_PROPERTY IOCTL's?

gstreamer's dvbsrc takes care of tuning. Currently it does not use
FE_SET_PROPERTY and FE_GET_PROPERTY. See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-bad/tree/sys/dvb/gstdvbsrc.c

If you think that this might the cause of your problem, please file a
bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=GStreamer

There is a report/request about using the newer API at
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654479>. But I don't think
that's the main problem here. I think Stefan's complaint is that
gnome-dvb will only let him use this card for cable, when it should be
usable for terrestrial too. Multi-frontend means the card has one
frontend with multiple capabilities, not separate frontends for each of
C and T.

OK, GStreamer use the old, now named as legacy, DVB-API (v3). So I'm asking the GStreamer mailing list to implement the DVB-v5 API (erlier named as S2API). I'm hopping that's working better in the future.
