[mpeg2] Re: saa7113 driver for other boards

["Simon Turvey" <turveysp@ntlworld.com>]

You can get an saa7113.c that I (re)wrote from http://pvr.sourceforge.net/.
You'll need to check out the latest stuff from CVS though.

It should work with boards other than the WinTV-PVR.  Let me know
how you get on.
