the only thing i expect from the driver's dvr interface is, to give me a 
recording of  an arbitrary dvb event and the oportunity to play back this 
recording. this is the purpose of an digital video recorder interface. if i 
can't rely on this, its hard to imagine that someone will accept it for every 
day use. i can't say which amount of video buffer is needed for that.
