They are broken for what I do say during the last three months and a
build just now tells the same.

Sorry for abusing the thread a little, I plan some vacations and try to
dump what I have left in mind.

Your card should at least support Australian DVB-T HDTV.

We have some new support for DVB-S in 2.6.26, mostly triple or quad
capable cards, using the dual isl6405 as LNB supply. I would love to see
more feedback here for HDTV usage. (not S2, but for example BBC HD
1080i, works flawlessly somewhere else ...)

We have much less testers than previously I believe.

The tda827x still seems not to compile, if tuner customization is not
selected. Likely the isl6405 under frontend customization needs to be
checked too.

Thanks again.
