Since most of the driver was written in 2005 it is a little 
"behind" regarding kernel API changes and available in-kernel drivers 
for 
tuners and demods. But you should be able to get hints from it
to adapt it to the current kernel/DVB repo. 


Thanks for your reply, when I looked through the original source code 
I can't see a driver for the tuner THOMSON DTT 75202A, is included in 
the code but named something else?

When I load the ngene module, should it say anything more than the 
copyright notice in the kernel logs?
