To cut a long story short: No one had an idea, which demod chip (or even
which vendor) is in use in the vp7041. So I reverse-engineered the
windows driver resulting in vp7041.
Last week DiBcom contacted me and told me, that the demod in the vp7041 is
a dib3000m and provided sources. Without committing the vp7041 to cvs,
DiBcom maybe never had contacted me. Kind of Chicken-Egg-Problem.

I hope it is not a too big problem, that there will be another empty
directory in the cvs. I'm sorry, if I had known this before .... :/
