I read on the dvb mailing list there could be a chance the 'new' dvb 
driver supports budget cards + pci ci. See 
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-dvb@linuxtv.org/msg13168.html with 
Michael Hunold mentioning dvb-ttpci-budget-ci cards.

So I've just gone through the dvb kernel source code to see what's going 
on. Apparently, this is the intent. See 
dvb-kernel/linux/drivers/media/dvb/ttpci/budget-ci.c under cvs for 
details. Does someone know if it really works ? If yes, on which kernel 
: 2.4.20+ or 2.6.x ? on both ?

If I remember well what I read on this ml, vdr works on 2.6.testX + 
dvb-kernel-cvs. Is it a card that is worth playing, betting on the 
bright future of dvb-kernel or am I on a wrong way ? Remember I want to 
build a vdr box based on budget tt + pci ci + magic module + dxr3.

Thx all for your help.
