I somehow felt that you would come through with a patch, I have only one 
comment, and that is that I intentionally left the ::Close empty because of 
the comment in tv_rec.cpp (hoping to remove some code in the future), so 
could you make what is currently the ::Close function into a ::CloseDVB 
function, since all places that this is called is either determined to be of 
DVBChannel class, or the ChannelBase class but determined to be a DVB device, 
so a cast into DVBChannel is safe, then this patch is perfect!
