Jamie and Brad are working on the driver for the DVB-S card versions 
with and without CI connector. Regular tarballs are published on 
http://members.optushome.com.au/jhonan/dst/. You'll also find there a 
README describing the packet format (Maybe there are slight differences 
or extensions for the DVB-T card). The DMA stuff will probably pretty 
similiar to your card. It's not perfectly clear to me what the pin0 line 
does, you describe the routing as it might be a reset line, other people 
describe it like it might be an interrupt line to the MCU/ASIC which 
initiates a communication sequence from host to MCU.

Jamie wants to commit these files to the LinuxTV CVS repository within 
the next few days, until then you can use the tarballs.

hope that helps,

Holger
