I only have a DVB-C FF card, but with czap and your modification
my recordings (unsing czap -r and cat /dev/.../dvr0 >foo) are OK.

Also test_dvr works fine.

(One thing which doesn't work right with FF cards is to record the
video/audio PIDs that are currently decoded (DMX_PES_VIDEO with
DMX_OUT_DECODER). Due to hardware limitiations the adaptation
fields in the are invalidated (overwritten by 0xff).)
