No, I mean
- DVB
- dvb-kernel for 2.4, and
- dvb-kernel.
Imho the old DVB driver is still widely used because
- dvb-kernel does not compile with older 2.4.x kernels.
- people do not know that dvb-kernel works with 2.4 kernels.
- there were big problems using the 1.1.1 driver.
Anyway, I'm using the 2.4 branch of dvb-kernel without any problems.
I always recommend to use dvb-kernel.
Kernel 2.6 isn't an option for _me_ because performance of the ext3 fs
is significantly worse than with kernel 2.4 (at least on my vdr).

Well, I knew that you would say this. :)
Comitted to CVS.

There are more than 20 modified boards, according to threads at
vdr-portal. I don't know how many boards have been upgraded by
commercial modders or by people who stayed silent.
Maybe I should start a poll at vdr-portal.
