Maybe - at least i just testet the new driver with the _old_  "0.9.4" 
firmware and it behaves just alike, but my problem is special, as i don't 
connect a satellite dish at all, because just using analogtv. For now i have 
simply deactivated all Filters, pid-feeds and suchalike in av7110.c, let's se 
if that helps for me....

At least that points out (so i think at least), that it might not be a 
problem with the firmware, instead might be fixed in the driver...
