I can submit this patch now, but I would rather add some code so the DVB-S2 receivers can use the DVB-S functionality (DVB-S2 is only possible with the change to multiproto). I'll try to do this before the end of the month. I can have a look at the switch from ieee1394 to firewire, but I'm rather busy right now (final exams and some other urgent business afterwards).
