Yes. Afaik, the dib7000 is not register compatible with the dib3000, so 
there has to be another new demod-driver for that.

Just for reference designs for OEMs I think. DVB-T won't use 4k FFT. As 
far as I can see from now, as soon as the first dib7000-device will hit 
the market, a linux-driver for that will be ready... - Problem then will 
be if the silicon-tuner-manufacturer wants to reveal information about 
that (see current problem with Microtune and their MT2060).

No, sorry.

Yeah, right, I forgot the time-slicing, which is used to save battery on 
devices. time-slicing was used for the test-signal in Berlin - so every 
2 seconds I saw bursts of data coming in on different PIDs.
