I was under the impression from earlier reports (on the list and/or
through mail to me) that the TT DVB-C card worked. Maybe they changed 
the hardware? Somebody here talked about a 2.x version of the DVB-C
card?

AFAIR, Technotrend never cared about Linux drivers at all. I
never received any information about their hardware from them.
(This is true for ALL card manufacturers except Siemens.)
So, why are you surprised now?

We are also not interested in supporting each and every version of the
DVB cards, especially if we don't even have a sample card and won't
get any kind of help by the manufacturer to program the new chips
which might be on those cards.
Please explain exactly why we should be interested in supporting
such cards? 

All I can do for now is to add a note on our WWW page that not 
all card versions of all vendors work with the driver.
In 4 weeks all this will probably be a moot point anyway and all I
will be able to support then is a version 1.3 DVB-S card.
