From DVB driver changelog:

| 2003-11-07 19:39  js
| * driver/av7110/: Dpram, Dpram-icam, Root, Root-icam: New firmware
|   which uses dummy PIDs 0x000e/0x000f (reserved by iso13818-1)
|   instead of 0x1fff/0x1ffe to avoid sync problems during playback
|   when tuned to transponders where 0x1ffe is a valid PCR PID (Astra
|   12515 h).

The old firmware (ab)used pid 8190 = 0x1ffe. This worked fine as long as
this pid was not used on any transponder. ;-)
See the DVB mailing list for details how the bug was found and fixed.
