[linux-dvb] Drivers for EasyWatch MobileSet PCMCIA DVB-T receiver

["Bertrand Mazieres" <Bertrand.Mazieres@tdf.fr>]

Dear LinuxTV developpers,

You will find at http://instinct-wp8.no-ip.org/pluto/
the drivers for the first PCMCIA DVB-T receiver,
the Easywatch MobileSet retailed in Germany by Citycom and also 
known as Pluto 2, a product of SCM Microsystems.

Developed by Dany Salman, as part of his final graduation internship for
TDF, the French broadcast operator (www.tdf.fr), we would like
this driver to be included in the future LinuxTV releases.

Specifically designed for a kernel 2.6, the drivers have been succesfully tested
under 2.6.7 and should be easily adaptable to 2.4.

Currently, the following features work:
- MPEG2 TV with software decoding using players such as mplayer or xine
- IP over DVB-T reception, using the dvbnet interface

There is still a minor bug such that some block errors appear every few seconds.
We do not plan on fixing the bug at this stage and would be very happy
if someone volunteers to take a look at the problem.

Dany Salman (salmandany@yahoo.fr) and I remain at your disposal
for any further details on these drivers.

Best regards,

Bertrand Mazieres
