I found a problem with the DVB driber (any one from

The problem showed itself when tuning a signal, and

The cause is in the typing., it is wrong all over the place in that driver .... In the original (uncorrected) driver only HALF the 32 bit buffer is used, and if more data enters, the number flips to negative with as a result the 'Value to large for defined data type error' error abort (and a possible crash of the application that uses the driver).
Well done. This is the power of free software.
But all the rest is crummy too,
job for life.... :-) Dick
