hi,
I tried your patch with TT dvb-c 2.1 premium and the latest firmware 2623
kernel 2.6.13 and almost the latest dvb/v4l drivers
my cable-provider is iesy (hessen)
frq = 121mhz qam256
for NTV and some of the other private-channels
the patch has no effect I've still several drop-outs
if I watch a channel with qam256 modulation
maybe I can support you with some debug output
just tell me which data is important to improve the qam256 support in
ves1820
