For me there is a an issue in the V4L specs for the support of DVB-S/C/T devices where the CI device is decoupled from the Tuners. At the moment there is no standard solution on which device drivers implementers and Application programmers can fall back. This is for hardware with multiple tuners and one CI device that can handle multiple streams (or even streams from different cards). The solution should explain how the Tuners are linked to the CI module(s). The current situation leads to device drivers that are implemented but that are not (fully) usable in any application. The application developers are waiting for API specs to explain how to implement the CI capabilities. In my experience a solution for this would bring more users to use DVB-S/T/C capabilities of Linux (as the average TV user in many countries uses a payed subscription).
