Checking for actual data in live viewing mode would mean that an actual
data stream would have to be opened for every channel switching - that would
quite probably slow down zapping a lot. It would be a lot better to solve the
initial problem. What version of the driver are you using? I am using the one
from 2001-11-17 and don't have that problem.
