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?
