Apart from minimizing the number of patches and ease of maintenance, it will avoid the confusion that I had When I started using prof 7500. I had to enable stv0900 and stb6100.

Ive flipped a few cards from one to the other and they function fine. In some ways stv090x is better suited. Its a pain supporting two modules that are written differently but do the same thing, a fix in one almost always means it has to be implemented in the other as well. > > Im not necessarily suggesting dumping stv0900, but Id like to flip a few cards that I own over to stv090x just to standardize it.

Ive got alot more coming lol :) > > Chris stv0900 is better separated from the tuner whilst stv090x has weird stv6110x_devctl structure. That's why I used stv0900 for anysee driver. I wonder is there something special supported by stv090x because normal tuner/demod callbacks are not enough. regards Antti -- http://palosaari.fi/
