I don't know if this is a related problem, but maybe, while you're at it,
you could fix this: every time I record a Transport Stream from my Kfir card
I have to reload the driver, otherwise the next recording will have severe
artefacts at the bottom quarter of the picture. When recording PS/PES it works
fine without driver reloads - but I do need TS.

I hav ereported this to the list several months ago (when I first started
using the Kfir card), but nobody knew a solution for this :-(
