I was on 2622 for months and went back to f then to d for testing,
forgot to mention the 2622.
I can watch TV for hours while the messages continue, so I had no idea
something was crashing.
It's just the errors that bug me. But if there's no fix, maybe I should
comment out that part of the code to get rid of the error messages.
Was just wondering what causes this, and only on some channels, not
others.
But i'll update to the last fw nevertheless and get back.

I was hoping to get some indication what goes wrong where. If it's
simple or specific to my card I might want to dig in and find a
solution. But I have a vague idea that it is way beyond my skills and
needs some serious knowledge about the way a TS stream is built and
how the software is currently decoding it.

thx

Johan
