..."clearly no longer has time" -- please do not speak on my behalf -- I 
have taken a break from v4l-dvb, and I will return when I have time for 
it again.

I already did a lot of the work for standardizing signal level, but I 
need to clean it up, consider new demod modules, push trees and send 
pull requests.  Right now, correct -- I don't have time for it.  I'll 
likely get to this by mid-august -- I will have more time again by then.

I have a plethora of changes in my queue that I have to burn through and 
merge, including j-rod's lgdt3304 support.  I used to get this stuff 
done very quickly, but there is a lot of change going on in my life 
right now... When things settle down here, I'll be back in full force.  :-)
