Better to work on properly working hardware, rather than pulling out hair on broken hardware. Hair is getting scantier day by day. :) > Don't know why he didn't also email you :( Maybe he got too immersed in the hardware aspect and found almost no free time to respond. Even for his DMB-T/H demodulator to be eventually in kernel, it will need the multiproto DVB API updated for multiple delivery systems to work. (Currently the Linux DVB API can support only DVB-S, C, T and ATSC deliveries) Some times to have an API/ABI change, there is so much noise involved and the people who really make the most noise are just "painting the bike shed green" sometimes as referred to on LK and or by the BSD developers, rather than any real contributions. If Max needs it to be there at the earliest, it can be based on the private tree <http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/> for the DVB-S2 devices, where developments are going on at a hectic manner. Thanks, Manu
