that  playing the resulting stream shows tons of macroblock errors.
This morning I updated the firmware and now instead of broken blocks,
catting from dvr0 dumps no data at all.

What I did: in set_demux() of szap.c I set

pesfilter.pes_type = DMX_PES_OTHER;

instead of

pesfilter.pes_type = audio ? DMX_PES_AUDIO : DMX_PES_VIDEO;

I'm using a recent cvs checkout of dvb-kernel. My card seems to be a 
revision 1.3.

Thanks,
