I haven't used dvb-kernel yet and also have no 2.6 machine, but just wanted to drop in my 2 cents: IIRC there was a discussion a while ago about dvb-kernel being considerably slower in channel switching than the DVB driver (presumably because of different I2C handling). Is this still the case (or was it never the case)? If dvb-kernel switches channels slower than DVB, I guess this would be a "no-go" criteria for many people. As I said, just my 2ct, w/o personal experience with either dvb-kernel or kernel 2.6. Klaus -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
