I'm happy to get some help !!

I had a look at PLUGINS.html, it seems easy but when I had a look @ the
dvbdevice.[ch] it seems a lot more difficult.

Ok so I'll try tom write the cEm84Device and then I'll check out how to
set up a new device thru the plugin interface

That's interesting because I haven't seen yet that primary device must
have OSD, I'll write the dummy OSD to start checking.

Thanks a lot for your information.

By the way, thanks to KS for answering to my previous question.
