linux dvb alps_tdlb7 removed

[Peter Waechtler]

With version 2.6.10 the driver for the tuner frontend from ALPS TDLB7 
was removed.

Why do you think that this is a dead file?
While I'm happy with the work you do for dvb on Linux, and I want to 
thank you for this anyway, my TV does not work anymore! :(

I use a TechoTrend Premium card with that frontend on it. It worked 
fine until 2.6.10.
Can you put it back into mainline? Is there some work to do for 
reinsertion?

regards

I think the driver you now need is sp8870. It's just another name for
the same file.

Yup you are right. If someone has a card that is no longer working,
please have a look at these pages and contact the linuxtv-dvb mailing-list:

Thanx, now it works again under 2.6.11
I had to create a link in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware with the new name 
also.
