Dear Dave,

I haven't used your software up to right now, but be shure I will in the
near future.

Your words about simplifying DVB-Stuff for "bugdet"-Users sound great.
Thanks for being a light at the end of the tunnel, since I haven't yet made
it to bring my TT budget-Card to life under Linux.

Keep up the good work as I will keep trying to watch digital TV under
Linux - hopefully with you software.
