You can find this patch here: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-June/011298.html This is also the last post of the other thread. You can find the other posts on the June page of the archive: http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2006-June/thread.html with the subject: "AverTV A800 trouble". Unfortunately, the posts distributed in different threads in the archive list (due to some bug with my mailer) and you should carefully check the full page for all posts with this subject to have the full history. Hopefully and according to Patrick Boettcher, the latest patch will find its way in the official distribution. If you can test it, you would be the third person to confirm it. In any case I am happy that also my first patch has been useful even though it is not very proper as I understand now.
