My, or Manu or you? Looks like there is only one device using this driver currently. Also Manu's original mxl500x driver seems to be much more sensitive than current mxl5005s. I don't know what we should do with this driver, but from users perspective this situation is not good. There is rather many devices using this tuner. > > Thanks, > Jochen regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/ _______________________________________________ linux-dvb mailing list linux-dvb@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linux-dvb
