Another soul has the terrestial version of this card, which is very similar. I'm hoping we can get somewhere with this too. > Can you tell me, which kernel will your dvb-kernel code changes be > included in?

Gerd Knorr has updated his snapshot versions of the bttv driver so that bttv patches no longer need to be applied. Relying on that means his snapshot also has to go in ... I'm meant to add my dst stuff into the dvb-kernel cvs, which then would go up for evaluation. Brad is very flattering, but the truth is I'm an old-time hacker who had too much time on his hands for a while. Getting hardware going is one thing, cutting and pasting kernel code is another. I have to understand. There are still issues with the CI card, can it or can't it produce sensible 188 byte packets? Only Twinhan knows. Then there are the signal strength / quality reporting issues : again Twinhan have the answers and could tell us in a moment. Then there are the almost identical terrestial cards. How about some info there? If anyone reading this is in a position to put firm, polite pressure on Twinhan, their OEMers, resellers or distributors, now might be a good time. Maybe you are looking to build DVRs on a large scale and are looking at which card to use : Twinhan ought to know how many units you are considering and why you can't use their card. Please spread to anyone who you think might be able to help. Regards Jamie -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe linux-dvb" as subject.
