Oh good, I just downloaded the patches to go to this kernel version.

This is the point you can get to without an extended driver:
The channel docoder initializes and tries to decode the signal.
To get beyond this, you need an extended tda10046 driver and the extensions
in the saa7134-dvb.c that need to be written.
Anyhow, it's not a bad starting point...
Stay tuned
