Markus,

The Linux community supports it's in-kernel dvb / v4l trees using this channel. 
Your attempt to use these channels to de-value the in-kernel driver and your 
agenda to promote your (partially) closed source alternative it is off topic.

This is not the first time people have had to say this.

You're only damaging your reputation further using tactics like this.
