I have more than 30 ddbridge dvb-s devices and more than 30 dvb-c/t devices. The fact that the drivers are not in the main tree is the biggest problem with these devices. The hardware is great (never had a problem with it) but having to install experimental media build is just stupid. When I bought the devices I knew that the driver is not in the main tree but I really hoped that this would change. Now 3 years later it is still not the case. That's bullshit. Come on Digital Devices, you have the drivers, please, pretty please, submit them upstream, go through the merge process and make us - our clients a happy bunch. Like Bjoern said, it's 2014, you have the drivers, keeping them out of main kernel and having your customers go through hoops to get them working is not acceptable. -- Georgi Chorbadzhiyski | http://georgi.unixsol.org/ | http://github.com/gfto/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
