Hi folks,

I have just checked out the latest CVS and made sure that the above 
patch was included.  Unfortunately is has made no difference to my 
tuning problems at all.  I still see the card appear to give up tuning 
anymore after 3-6 channel changes.

I will now try Johannes' suggestion of rolling back to the older 0.94 
driver (if I can work out where to download it from?)

Thanks for your help
