Kevin, It appears as if you have a misconception -- dvb-pll is a module that only handles the simple 'tin-can' type of 4 / 5 -byte tuners. Of course, silicon tuners cannot be supported within dvb-pll because they are a different type of device, and require their own driver. dvb-pll is just one of many tuner drivers for dvb -- other modules like mt2131, tda18271, tda827x, mt2066, and others are examples of tuner drivers that have nothing to do with dvb-pll. I hope this clears up the misunderstanding.
