It's no tuner it's a demodulator.

I do not have a problem with the Linux kernel development team, as far
as I've seen there are other subsystems out there with more skilled
maintainers than the media system that's all.

First of all I have many other things to do and this is not my main job.
Second if someone would have cared and would have followed the
development process it would have been possible to finish _all_ that
work around a 3/4 year ago.
Part of that process was always that I triggered discussions about
what I will do/and what I did, and nothing got discussed in a proper
way. The endresult of that is that my work has got ignored, even
though the project sites (all together have around 300.000 hits now
too).

Now see why should I continue to deal with that useless stress? I can
simply do what those companies  want me to do and then I'm done with
the project, without having discussions like I had on the ML which
lead _NOWHERE_.

13:51 <mrec> I'm moreover interested if your solution is as capable as
what I have at the moment
13:51 <mrec> if yes -> I'd be willing to start a second port using
kernelspace code, although I'll keep the userspace work active
13:51 <mkrufky> im in the middle of a refactoring process
13:51 <mkrufky> you shouldnt not take a judgement yet
13:52 <mkrufky> it is not complete
13:52 <mkrufky> er, typo
13:52 <mkrufky> you shouldnt make a judgement yet

so what should I do I depend on work which is not complete all the
time and my solutions aren't welcome, although on the other side I
have to complete some work because some other companies want to use
final solutions. If you call that opensource fine I don't call this
"open", it's just as good as closedsource what's going on there.

Also this device has a low priority since I got newer devices already
(not only media devices luckily!).

ever thought that "opensource developers" also need money for life?
