Yeah, that isn't really practical. There are *hundreds* of boards, and having one config option isn't practical given the number of different bridge/demod/tuner combinations there are. Heck, even for the 1250 there are eight or ten different versions, so most users wouldn't even know the right one to choose. The reality is that the kernel config isn't optimized for this use case, and given the overhead in administration combined with the *EXTREME* unlikelihood that any real users would use it, it just isn't worth the effort. If you're hacking the kernel config to include support for a single board as opposed to the whole media subsystem, you're 0.001% of the user base, and your use case isn't worth the developer effort that would be required. In short, we barely have the manpower to make this stuff work at all. Wasted effort to optimize for really obscure use cases is better spent on expanding the set of supported products. >> Also, the 1250 is broken for analog until very recently (patches went >> upstream for 3.5/3.6 a few days ago). > > North American OTA is all digital so I have no way to test it. That's fine. I was just trying to make clear that if you wanted analog functionality then you need the latest code. Devin -- Devin J.
