Let him take his time, not a problem. Better to work on properly working 
hardware, rather than pulling out hair on broken hardware. Hair is getting
scantier day by day. :)

Maybe he got too immersed in the hardware aspect and found almost no
free time to respond.

Even for his DMB-T/H demodulator to be eventually in kernel, it will need the 
multiproto DVB API updated for multiple delivery systems to work.
(Currently the Linux DVB API can support only DVB-S, C, T and ATSC deliveries)

Some times to have an API/ABI change, there is so much noise involved and 
the people who really make the most noise are just "painting the bike shed 
green" sometimes as referred to on LK and or by the BSD developers, rather 
than any real contributions.

If Max needs it to be there at the earliest, it can be based on the private 
tree <http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto/> for the DVB-S2 devices, where
developments are going on at a hectic manner.

Thanks,
Manu
