Yes, definately.

Thats interesting. Maybe i should/will resort the cards in my case.

Great news. I just installed the patched version, lets what happen on the 
temperatures today :-)

BTW the last few days i had a new phenomenon: the frontend looses the tuning 
after watching a channel for maybe 20-30 minutes. First i see and hear a 
short MPEG glitch, a few seconds later the pictures freezes. For the channels 
on the same frequency i get no output after this. Chaning the frequency 
forward and back again or using tzap for the same channel brings back the 
output.

I'll report later today my current status.

Thank you VERY much! for all your patches.

P.S.: your last delay patch did not helped me :-(
