I not found dvb patch but i think that is all in cvs now....however i have 
dvb-s that work regulary.
Problem is that in any case it go wrong....
For example: i watch a channel (it work fine) ,i change it for a channel 
without signal ( a temporary failture)(you can simulate it detaching antenna 
cable) and frontend "wait forever" without possibility to still change (or 
exit) channel.

It isn't a dvb's problem; really is a mythfrontend (or mythbackend ??) problem 
when backend don't send data to frontend...
The relationship between dvb-s and this problem is only beacuse with dvb-s is 
very easy to have wrong signal or wrong channel parameter but there is other 
case.....

I investigate it, but i don't know mythtv sufficiently to correct it.

I hope that expert resolve it, beacuse with satellite use is a very big 
problem....
I am available to supply all the necessary aid

Thank's for reply
