Hi Dominik,

thanks for this patch! I've just updated my installation to the  
current version.

I didn't test DVB-S2 yet but image quality for DVB-S seems to have  
improved a bit - at least there are not that much glitches anymore in  
the video. Anyway I'm not sure if this is related to the driver itself  
or mythtv. I only confirmed that the box is working flawlessly using  
the original Windows drivers - so it's not a problem with the  
satellite installation.

The typical error messages I get (from myth) are the following (if  
this is of any use):
AddTSPacket: Out of sync!!! Need to wait for next payloadStart PID:  
0x12, continuity counter: 9 (expected 8).
DVBRec(0): PID 0xa7 discontinuity detected


Cheers
Daniel
