OK - something else appears to be going on in transfer mode then. What I 
don't get is why recordings show the error with vdr, but recording with 
dvbstream and playing them back in vdr works just fine.

I believe RTL group now owns C5 - maybe there's something up with that :)

It's quite mysterious why dvbstream gets it right with 0.9.4 and newstruct 
drivers and vdr doesn't. To what extent does vdr interact with the driver 
and how could it be that dvbstream doesn't face this problem.

I'll try older drivers and will report back if I manage to get them to 
compile. However if that works there should be some research going into why 
vdr would decode a stream fine with an old but not a few firmware, when 
dvbstream does....
