[linux-dvb] KWorld have contacted me!!!

[Soyeb Aswat <soyeb@btinternet.com>]

Hello all,

More good news, I got the attached response from
KWorld!

Now, what how do I respond to them?

My thoughts are that I say something like:

"Hello James, I'm very pleased to hear from you.  You
are correct that I would like to get your DVB-t card
working under Linux.  My work on this driver is purely
voluntary as I own a KWorld DVB-t card and would like
to be able to use it under Linux.  The linux-dvb
driver team is built from a combination of set-top-box
manufacturers and volunteers such as myself.  Our goal
is simply to bring DVB support to Linux in an Open
Source manner.  Personally I am a professional
programmer working in the field of telecommunications.
 Any assistance you can provide us would be most
appreciated.  Regards, Soyeb"

What should I be asking of him?

Regards,

Soyeb
