Many thanks for the "patch": if the info you can get from the STV is
restricted I prefer the new version: uncorrected blocks can be
seen/heard, corrected blocks cannot :-)

Another question:
The reported signal strength seems to be too high IMHO.
It still looks too high if I leave out
 signal = signal * 5 / 4;
 in FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH, but at least it isn't 100% (0xffff) nearly
 all the time anymore.


Best regards,

Wolfgang
