It's modeled after jmg's bktrau/cxd drivers: Minimal kernel part, demodulator and tuner programming in userland. The kernel part is almost complete (modulo proper locking and access restrictions). The userland part does not do a whole lot, but has complete support for all the demodulator and tuner capabilities. Currently it only tunes to a fixed (hardcoded) channel and dumps the raw MPEG-TS stream to a file. I'm looking for a good MPEG-TS de-multiplexer with PSI support. If you know of such a thing, let me know. Until then, maybe somebody will find this interesting ... BTW, the bridge chip supported by the kernel part (TwinHan/Digimove Mantis) is quite common in the consumer cards market. It should support most of the Technisat *Star product line, as well as some Terratec Cinergy products. But you'd obviously need a different userland to support the tuner/demods on these cards.
