[linux-dvb] DIB 7070P reported as DIB 7000PC

[Patrick Boettcher]

Hi again,

DiB7000PC is the DVB-T demodulator, DiB0070 is the RF tuner. They are put 
into one package which is called DiB7070P.

There is a bug in the LinuxTV driver for this receiver, which I was not

I will try to provide something as soon as possible.
