OK thanks for clearing this up for me.

Old firmware combined with new drivers - that's true. That's more unstable 
than new drivers and new firmware. At least in transfermode Old drivers and 
old firmware seems more stable than new drivers and new firmware - however 
it's true that the old firmware seems to love to crash on bad reception 
with DVB-s.

Anyway of course a new firmware that also worked with DVB-T in the UK would 
be the best solution. I'll ask over on linux-dvb about it. I was merely 
wondering if anyone was running new drivers and old firmware in a 
semi-stable setup with DVB-s.
