 Hi Juri,
 
 Thanks for your answer. It is good to hear, that i'm not 
 alone in the world :)
 
 Do you have problems with ARM crashes, too? (timeout waiting 
 for command idle)
 
 Maybe anyone of the developers with access to a dvb-t 
 hardware could look at this problem? My system can be used 
 for testing, if someone of the developers doesnt have access 
 to dvb-t hardware.
 
 Greetings,
