I am using Mandrake kernels all of them have ko files gzipped. But I 
think they have not made any special modifications
for the DVB sources compared to the kernel.org kernel.

I do not know is it a selectable option in the kernel config whether one 
wants .ko files to be gzipped or has mandrake
done something for them.

Anyway, here is the list of DVB files I have under my kernel:
(It does not contain following modules which are available in the 
dvb-cvs: mt352.ko, nxt6000.ko, saa7146.ko, saa7146_vv.ko, ttusb_dec.ko)

I am not 100% sure to which subdirectory will mt352.ko, nxt6000.ko, 
saa7146.ko, saa7146_vv.ko, ttusb_dec.ko belong to?
Would following list be correct?

./frontends/mt352.ko
./frontends/nxt6000.ko
./frontends/saa7146.ko
./frontends/saa7146_vv.ko
./ttusb-budget/ttusb_dec.ko

So you think that I should not gzip modules before copying them?
