{wanted] support for PDTV001 dual tuner PCI DVB-T card [EC188/EC100 and 2x MxL5003S]

[Simon Kenyon]

just bought one of these on the off-chance that it might work
i did not know what chips were on the car when i bought it
but at €17 for a dual tuner dvb-t pci card i reckoned it was worth a try
i have looked at the card and it has:

the e3c EC188/EC100 pair of pci chips
a pair of MaxLinear MxL5003S silicon tuners

it seems that there is support for the tuners but i only found support 
for the EC168 USB chip set.

is there any prospect of support for this card? i don't think i could 
write it myself but i certainly could test it.

regards

EC188 chip contains PCI -bridge and integrated EC100 demodulator. Just 
like EC168 that is USB equivalent interface chip.

Tuners are supported and also demodulator part have some kind of base 
driver in my EC168 devel tree. Someone should write PCI -bridge driver. 
I don't have any PCI -experience and I am not very motivated even 
finalize EC188/EC100 due to lack of specs.

In my understanding, no one is working for that currently.
