As far as I was following this thread, the breakpoint was not that VDR
wouldn't work with 2.6 but that the dvb driver for 2.6 wouldn't work with
the 2.6 kernels shipped with some (major) linux distributions.

so don't blame VDR for that.

Absolutely. But that's exactly the reason why the driver should work with 
the kernels shipped with the linux distributions.

and please don't generalise your own experience to other people.

which support are we talking about? 
support of the driver for kernels up to 2.6.5?

I never tried MythTV, NMM,... but I doubt they would work without a 
working driver.


PS.: and why don't you just stop blaming other people and contribute some 
constructive suggestions for a solution.
