Nathan,

Please do not top-quote....

As per your description above, you are correct... HOWEVER, now I understand your 
issue -- you are running old code.

If you update to the latest v4l/dvb modules via linuxtv.org mercurial, you will 
find that functionality has been restored as per your desire.

Please see http://linuxtv.org/repo

...for instructions to upgrade your v4l/dvb modules.

Good Luck,

Mike
