The advantage of writing a driver would be that any DVB application could theoretically use the device and MythTV wouldn't need any modification. This was the rationale for the USB DVB drivers; in that case it turned out to be a nightmare to support in MythTV and actually requires it's own code path for tuning anyway... -- Daniel
