Hmm... Had you test this one on a real hardware? It is not
uncommon to have some DVB devices that would fail reading
when the firmware is on cold state.

Without testing a patch like that at a real hardware, there's
no way to know if this is intentional or if the original
developer forgot to add a check for the error.

So, at most, it could print some warning message for
non-zero return codes.


Thanks,
Mauro
