Or is there something wrong with it? I did not want to cause any confusion at all, but I just transformed your work into a patch format that is expected everywhere in the linux world if you want your stuff to be merged. As it was refused as a whole (patched dvb-apps) I decided to resend it to Christoph Pfister CCing you. Everybody's waiting for Christoph Pfister now.
