For the patch, just send a mail to the mailing list with the subject [PATCH] and a description (add such device to dibcom driver), containing the patch (you can create it running hg diff -p -U 8 v4l-dvb > somname.patch) and a line saying signed-off by: yourname yourmail. You can also add me to the signed-off by if you want :). And probably somebody will update the source.

Hi Albert,
just in time I find out, if I keep my flagpol antenna horizontal, every
channel works fine and without artefacts.
Is it possible to change the polarisation in the source code?
Which list do you mean, i've never done similar before.
Greetings Yusuf
