The whole internal frontend data structures and also the Tuning API changed.
But as I just wrote a few mails back I could find nothing wrong in the
driver. There only was a bug in libdvb which had trouble with old
cable config files. If the application (ntuxzap, VDR, DTV) was
properly adapted to the new interface it should work. Ntuxzap should
also work now with the old config files.
