Hi

I tried your patch and vdr fails to show dvb-t channels for me while dvb-s 
channels works ok.

I have tested with a following setup:

- vdr-1.7.0
+ vdr-1.7.0-h264-syncearly-framespersec-audioindexer-fielddetection-speedup.diff
+ vdr-1.7.0-s2api-04102008-clean.patch
- latest s2-mfe installed for 2.6.27-rc8
- card-0: hvr-1300 (dvb-t, terrestrial cable connected)
- card-1: hvr-4000 (dvb-t, dvb-s, dvb-s2, only satellite cable connected)

I also tried to connect the terrestrial cable to hvr-4000, but it did not 
change anything.

If I use tzap, dvbstream and mplayer 
compination for hvr-1300 or if I use vdr-1.7.0 with liplianis multiptoto 
drivers, then also dvb-t channels works ok.
