No problem there, I already know rather well how rc-core is working :) 
Will do that.

RTL2830 demod driver seems to be now rather OK, missing all statistics 
as I planned, but otherwise rather ready. Seems to have some more work 
for getting statistic since looks like it polls huge amount of regs when 
updating those.

I am now finalizing that USB-bridge part. Do you have idea if that 
should be called;

as used chipset names:
dvb_usb_rtl2831u
dvb_usb_rtl2832u
dvb_usb_rtl2836u
dvb_usb_rtl2840u

or just name it as generic:
dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
dvb_usb_rtl2800u

or some other.

rtl28xxu or rtl2800u sounds best for me.

Antti
