I have read the discussion. The kernel to userspace interface is not allowed
to change, as this would brake userspace programs, so any fix would have
to come from a new kernel side interface. Therefore at the VDR side we have
two options:
1)Wait for the new kernel interface to happen with a standard way to report
quality and strength.
2)Implement work arounds for each receiver. In my opinion this has to be
done anyway, in order to let VDR run on old kernel versions.
Best regards,
Cedric
