The tuner-part is no problem indeed (as you said: as long as the channels
are on the same transponder).
But for the moment: the driver-part is the problem, I don't think my driver
supports the filtering of more than one channel at a time.
So my question is: which (existing) driver does support multi-channel
filtering? So I can have a look and see what modifications have to be made
to my driver to implement multi-channel filtering.
