I have it working. Well, sort of.
I am using 2.6.10rc2. It works with both, the dvb drivers that come with
that kernel and the cvs version of the dvb drivers.

BUT

I have to reboot my computer after a cold start after vdr was started.
Otherwise I have signal, but no data arrives.

This seems to be a known problem for some months now. At least
I found several reports of this.  If I find a fix I will tell you (read: the 
list).

Kind regards,
Stefan
