Tons of issues to be fixed. It is huge amount of work to get that all in. I could estimate one month full time work even my experience is not enough. And I simply don't want to waste that much money from my pockets, it is many thousand euros. So I do it, if I do, on my schedule. There is many separate issues which needs to be done. It is not something one people should do all. For example mainlining that DVB-T/T2/C/C2 demod driver. Another thing is DVB-C2 API, which is not much coding, but a lot of specification. You need to read and *understand* DVB-C2 spec and on some level other specs (mostly DVB-T2) in order to add missing pieces correctly to DVB API. If you are not coder, start here.
