I figured out what caused my DVB-C stick to no longer work, it is this commit: http://git.linuxtv.org/cgit.cgi/linux.gi...824b14060f which is in a later commit changed to "goto err;" i.e. I changed it to simply read:

Code:

/* error bit set? */
/*
        if ((cmd->args[0] >> 6) & 0x01) {
            ret = -EREMOTEIO;
            goto err;
        }
*/

Had diffed vanilla kernel 4.3 drivers vs. 4.1.12, blacklisted dvb-usb-dvbsky.ko and loaded my changed
modules by hand, until that commit fell out. Funny enough, now even channel switching works nicely
again in last nights build. No more need to stop live TV to avoid Kodi hanging with "Buffering..."
message, and after some seconds doing nothing at all anymore.

I also tested my isosynchronous Empia USB DVB dongle again with hvs_priority and verified setting
in command line, no cigar. That one still has trouble with dropped USB data. On RPi/RPi2 only live TV
sticks with Cypress chips that do bulk transfers appear to be stable.
