Strange, I can't remember this ever happening during my testing.

I will have to look at the date. Can't access my linux partition

I go even deeper. After installing a new DVB driver I always do:

make clean
manually kill all devices in /dev/dvb
search for any loose "Root" files >1kbyte
delete folder /usr/local/src/DVB
copy new stuff there (I don't use symbolic links) & do a

make
./makedev.napi
make insmod

Autorepeat works great!

Haven't done that yet ;o)) What I have added is:

Firmware selection (standard / other)
Polldelay
Repeatdelay
Repeatfreq
Repeattimeout
Restore Standard Values
(as the remote becomes unusable, if you increase the values too much ;o))

I'm not sure we even need to be able to change ALL the values above.
What parameters did you (plan) on adding to the setup?

Will be done as soon as I'm satisfied with the results ;o))
