Hi,

Please keep the linux-dvb mailing list CC'd at all times on this thread, 
and reply to all comments inline, not at the beginning of the email. Thanks.

Can you publish a preliminary datasheet for the Demod, or a preliminary 
GPL driver for the demod yet? That might help.

What I/F frequency does the demod need? I suspect the 2131 driver is 
fixed to match the demods it's been implemented against, and will 
probably need to have the I/F determined during dvb_attach in the 
mt2131_config structure.

The MT2131 driver's pretty raw and support for new demods will grow over 
time, it can be easily extended to incorporate your demod's needs.
