I'd like to try this patch, but it seems that the repository has changed 
meanwhile.

After applying the patch I get the following error when compiling:

   CC [M]  /store/soft/src/v4l-dvb/v4l/budget-patch.o
/store/soft/src/v4l-dvb/v4l/budget-patch.c: In function 
'budget_patch_attach':
/store/soft/src/v4l-dvb/v4l/budget-patch.c:683: error: 'TS_HEIGHT' 
undeclared (first use in this function)
/store/soft/src/v4l-dvb/v4l/budget-patch.c:683: error: (Each undeclared 
identifier is reported only once
/store/soft/src/v4l-dvb/v4l/budget-patch.c:683: error: for each function 
it appears in.)

I cannot solve this issue myself by substituting TS_HEIGHT with 
budget->buffer_width, as budget is first initialized past the above 
mentioned line.

Ingo: would you please provide an updated patch?

Bye.
