It is fixed to 3.2. I have had 3.2 few days and it works as it should.
Thanks for the Chris Rankin for fixing that long time and annoying
em28xx driver bug!

There is two frontends, frontend0 for DVB-T/T2 and frontend1 for DVB-C
(as the logs says too).

It should be rather easy stuff and I am also interested. But I have no
