[linux-dvb] Re: Progress on the KWorld/V-Stream DVB-T?

[Jonathan Thorpe <jlthorpe@gmail.com>]

That's fantastic news. Will this mean that the KWorld/V-Stream cards
will work with the introduction of this driver? Is the front end the
only component that needs attention?

The cx88xx driver presently works for analogue cards using the CX2388x
chipset, but will any significant modification be required for DVB
cards using the chip to work?

Thanks,
Jonathan
