Sorry, must have overlooked that. I just tried to stick together the 
arguments to do what i want, but forgot this one. But it still doesnt 
change anything. I tried to do several things while having tuned to a 
channel, but all complained about missing output. i tried the dvbdate, 
tried cat dvr0, ...
Another thing i noticed, is that the orange lamp, thats normally turned 
on, when the hardware is accessed through the software, is turned off. 
When i used the card with a 2.4 kernel, some month ago, it was turned 
on, when tuning, and when i use it in windows, it is also turned on.
