Andreas 'Count' Kotes <count@flatline.de> asked me to verify the
'n-tv' problem, because of the also existing DECT problem.

So I loaded the official 0.8.2 driver again and immediately saw
that n-tv didn't work (heavy picture distortions and audio dropouts).
Loading VDR and switching to the ORF channels showed that they also
didn't work (event heavier picture problems than with n-tv).

I then reverted to the improved driver from the CVS and both n-tv
and the ORF channels worked fine. In this configuration I then
took my DECT handset (Siemens Gigaset 2015 plus) and held it very
close to the VDR PC, moving it around the PC. There were no disturbances
at all with Sat.1 and Pro7, which are said to be problematic with DECT.
I don't know why I don't have DECT problems (maybe my cable is of better
quality?), but I'm sure glad I don't have them ;-)

The recent n-tv problem was definitely cured by the latest CVS driver
version (DVB-0-8).
