Or should I just give up? Not at all. You could try to find a mantis driven card (e.g. TechniSat SkyStar[2] or certain Terratec Cinergy). My mantis base driver is stable and functional by now and the userland is coming together, too. You will have to put a little work into the userland driver part to setup the tuner and frontend, but this is a relatively simple copy&paste job from the linux driver and I'm willing to help with that, too. Get in touch if you are interested in this. -- Max
