Darron Broad, another member of this ML is currently reviewing my 
hvr3000 and hvr4000 patches to achieve the same goals.

I'm personally very happy with the hvr4000 support, and the hvr3000 
approach to multiple frontends on a single bus, but no single tree 
contains both, and it would likely be a large cumbersome patch to submit 
for review for Mauro - so I'm reluctant to do that.

My goal is to get basic hvr4000 DVB-S/S2 support merged first (after 
multiproto is merged), then follow that with the 'multiple frontend on a 
single bus' HVR3000 patches, thereby enabling DVB-T/S and S2 all in one go.

... But were a way off, perhaps months from seeing multiproto accept in 
v4l-dvb hg.

If you want to take a shot at merging HVR3000 and 4000 for your own use 
then atleast ping Darron via this ML, you're working on the same thing.
