i applied your new modified patch to the latest code.
Before the patch i had a hard time to switch to any channel on the frequency 
(transponder) of RTL here in Berlin. This happened very often.
With the patch applied RTL etc. are working fine, but i have sometimes 
problems with SAT1 etc. The tuner seems to takes more time to get a lock for 
this channel now, it takes sometimes up to some seconds until i see 
something. 
After one evening and night watching and switching i would say the new 
problems with the patch happen less often and are more easily to solve. So i 
would vote to apply this patch before the release :-)

Lucky full crashes never happened to me, and full frontend lockups are very 
rare. But i still need to change the power to 3 to have acceptable frontend 
lock times.

Greetings
  Nils
