[linux-dvb] re: megasky does it actualy tune then???

[Rob Bacon]

I've recently come back to the MSI Megasky stick, having been busy at work 
for a while and am delighted with the progress which has been made!

 I've used the code from the megasky tree, and now have a fully functional 
digital tuner.

Thankyou very much!
