Well i try from time to time to use filiago, because you don't need any 
subscription for it (in germany) and if i have a big download that i want 
fast. Tested latest cvs of dvbnet now and it doesn't oops the kernel anymore 
(at least at that one try) but it can't remove the network device because it 
is in use, that lets the machine not shutdown cleanly either because it hangs 
the system at boot :)  While using it there were no problems at all, a lot 
better then the last time i tried it. Hardware is btw a skystar2 2.6b

My mail was not meant as a complaint, i just meant that tv usage is a lot more 
tested then ths usage, i know its a complete niche product.
