afaik the new firmware from the NEWSTRUCT branch (which can also be used 
along with the 0.9.4 driver) should correct these two problems without the 
need to patch the driver.

However I did not succeed in using the NEWSTRUCT firmware (together with 
the 0.9.4 driver) with a full-featured DVB-C-card. I can tune the 
frontend, but I do not get anything from the DVR device.
Using the same firmware/driver combination with a budget DVB-C-card works 
fine, even with (a patched version of) vls.

Does anybody use the NEWSTRUCT firmware together with the 0.9.4 driver on 
an DVB-C card and is able to read from the DVR device?
