How can I check that ?
I'm not sure whether this is really related to encoding errors. Maybe the new firmware places some restrictions on the data stream. Could a firmware developer please comment on this? > How can I do that firmware raplacment ? Replace the firmware files (Root, Dpram) in the 'driver/av7110' directory with the files from the old driver. (See below.) Delete av7110_firm.h and re-compile the driver. > Why don't you recommend it ? The new driver uses features which the old firmware doesn't provide.

For example, take the CVS snapshot from http://www.linuxdvb.tv/download/dvb-20020520.tar.bz2 You'll find the firmware files (Root, Dpram) in the 'driver' subdirectory.
