It is fixed to 3.2. I have had 3.2 few days and it works as it should.

There is two frontends, frontend0 for DVB-T/T2 and frontend1 for DVB-C (as the logs says too). > PCTV 520e usb stick - dvb-c support > =================================== > The 520e supports dvb-c in addition to dvb-t. > Does anyone know of an intent to add support for (dvb-c in particular > from) the 520e? in the near > future? It should be rather easy stuff and I am also interested. But I have no time currently nor device (have some other ~similar devices waiting here too). > PCTV 290e and 520e usb sticks - compared > ======================================== > The 520e applies tda18271 according to > www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg38091.html > as also applied by the 290e hinting perhaps that the 290e and 520e are > very alike. > > Does that mean that dvb-c support if added for the 520e also will apply to the > 290e? thereby making the 290e a better deal as it also supports dvb-t2? If you need DVB-C then it maybe better to get some other stick than 290e. Using it for DVB-C is out-of-specs. regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/
