Why should the demodulator implement it's own adapter for tuner access ?

In order to implement it properly.


DS3103 is identical to DS3002, DS3000 which is similar to all other
dvb demodulators. Comparing datsheets of these demodulators
with others, I can't see any difference in the repeater setup, except
for an additional bit field to control the repeater block itself.

Also, from what I see, the vendor; Montage has a driver, which appears
to be more code complete looking at this url. http://goo.gl/biaPYu

Do you still think the DS3103 is much different in comparison ?

There was even some patches, maybe 2 years, ago in order to mainline that but it never happened.

More complete is here 53 vs. 86 register writes, so yes it is more ~40 more complete if you like to compare it like that.

Antti
