Ok, then please someone fix the driver :D I though that vdr sets first the 
filter and then tunes and i thought that this is not the right way (get the 
data(set the filter) once it is tuned would be right) I may oversimplify 
things, but i don't want to live with such things anymore. There have to be a 
way to fix this, be it in vdr or dvb it really doesn't matter. If there is a 
patch for vdr out then i will try it, the only thing i know is that i want to 
get rid of this bug
