I am wondering what's the reason of breaking this current rule as it sounded so clear...So if cards all delivery systems are mapped as an adapters under same frontend, there must be a some method for querying which of those adapters are tied together. Did Manu say whether that info can be get via dev tree, via sysfs or by using some new ioctl? And if the patch wont go in, it means that hvr-4000 owners needs to maintain in addition of the vdr-patch, also a patches for all plugins that the patch breaks :-(. On the other hand, if the patch would be accepted to vdr before 2.0, I am sure that all plugi-ns would be adapter to work in couple of weeks to work with the new interfaces.
