Which kernel to use?

Hello

which kernel is "best" for VDR?

On the one hand i read, that the DVB developers are only 
working on the 2.6. drivers and may (may be?) port them
back to 2.4.x, if possible. I assume it will not be possible
as "back porting" is no beloved job. ;-)
OTHO Klaus only tests with the 2.4 kernel, as he recomends
still the linux-dvb.2004-12-26 driver, which can't be compiled 
with 2.6
But then i read that NTPL is used by VDR, a feature only existing 
in 2.6 kernel IIRC.
I want to upgrade to 2.6. because the USB support of 2.4 so bad
and obsolete (It's not possible to write some 10 MB to a USB: 
The box will hang. Connecting webcams is game of luck how long they will
work until the box freezes.)

So, what's the way of VDR and kernel?

Rainer
