In the past, all dvb bridge drivers would depend on all possible combinations of tuners and demod drivers... Now that we have a method for frontend driver selection, you are upset that you're unable to deselect dvb-pll... Well, you were never able to do so in the past, so you've been making all this noise, screaming regression, but there is no regression. > There is no technical reason to nack it at all.

You might find various configurations where it is using a silicon tuner , instead.
