dvb_net.c in Convergence CVS is a very old version. The file from the
old main branch, which our version is based on, properly implements 
multicast, allmulti and promiscuous modes.
tcpdump as you use it sets promiscuous mode and will dump everything.
"tcpdump -p" (which disables promiscuous mode) still sets the allmulti
mode (at least the tcpdump I last tested it with did that). Depending 
on the kind of data (unicast or multicast) on the transponder this will also 
give you lots of data.
Just tell tcpdump only to show data for your IP.
