Still no idea, how to downgrade dvb-kernel from actual CVS to 
OLD_11_HEAD_2004_10_28 on kernel-2.6.8.1, it simply stops compiling with a 
lot of errors in skystar.c

In the meantime I reinstalled kernel-2.6.8.1 and used the dvb-kernel that 
comes with these sources. Everything is working now, so no more VDSB error 
and the SkyStar2 is fine too with that driver. The only issue is this 
message on boot (which was the reason I updated to the actual CVS in the 
first way):

"videodev: "av7110" has no release callback. Please fix your driver for 
proper sysfs support, see http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/";

I'd really like to use the refactored FE drivers, but the TechniSat 
SkyStar2 is definitely not working with skystar.c (Rev.1.46) -> no error 
output, but VDR immediately reports "ERROR: video data stream broken" 
followed by an emergency-exit, when the SkyStar2 is accessed.

Hopefully someone with the knowledge can take a look, what's the issue with it.

(Moved that reply over from the vdr-mailing-list with a new subject, as it 
has nothing to do with VDR, as initially thought)
