I haven't used dvb-kernel yet and also have no 2.6 machine, but
just wanted to drop in my 2 cents: IIRC there was a discussion
a while ago about dvb-kernel being considerably slower in channel
switching than the DVB driver (presumably because of different
I2C handling). Is this still the case (or was it never the case)?

If dvb-kernel switches channels slower than DVB, I guess this would be
a "no-go" criteria for many people.

As I said, just my 2ct, w/o personal experience with either dvb-kernel
or kernel 2.6.
