Reddo DVB-C USB Box works fine with this patch. But whats the status of 
this patch, when this is going to Kernel? Reddo is added to the 2.6.32 
and due to that I need this go 2.6.32 as bug fix. If this is not going 
to happen I should pull request my fix:
http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/reddo-dvb-c/rev/38f946af568f

And other issue raised as well. QAM256 channels are mosaic. I suspect 
there is some USB speed problems in Empia em28xx driver since demod UNC 
and BER counters are clean. It is almost 50 Mbit/sec stream... Any idea? 
I tested modprobe em28xx alt=N without success...

Antti
