sorry guys, but the removeale of the line above completely breaks my tuning 
:-(
This means with the latest code from CVS (where the line above is removed) my 
frontend does not get a permanent lock on any channel or frequency. I only 
see lots of MPEG squares, but the picture is never getting stable (sound 
too).
Without my patch (described in another mail to list a few days ago) i saw this 
MPEG squares for several seconds, before i got a stable  picture and sound. 
But without the line above i never (several minutes) do not get a stable 
picture or sound.

Can please someone reinsert the above line? Otherwise i have to start to 
maintain my own version of alps_tdlb7.c which works for my frontend.

Greetings
