DVB-S on quad TV tuner card from Medion PC MD8800 / CTX944

Hi Hartmut,

As I read this info the TT Budget-S-1401 use the same chipset -> (philips
tda10086/philips tda8262)
http://grmso.net:8090/blob/9268a82bada6c65f42f3b2af9935275965d2d3bd/
and it includes the tda10086.h so a driver must have been made ?
found here on the internet ->

and

made by Andrew de Quincey

If this helps to get support for DVB-s on the CTX944_rev2 card I would love
to test it :)

ps. some spec. on the MD8800 card  called CTX944 it is a Creatix card.

Steven Toth is working on supporting more than on frontend on a single
TS interface. That's what we need for this card as well. I haven't
checked the status yet.
I might do an intermedeate step: simply choose the frontend with an
insmod option. This is not difficult to do.
