There was a discussion on that in this list a while ago which ended in fruitless anoyance about one binary only module in the Linux kernel on the HD card. Look for "future VDR and NetCeiver OEM from Reelmultimedia" and "issues about binary only code...".

its not really about the binary if its working its mote the fact that future kernel wont support this binary stuff and its supposed to be a future proof solution

As Georg said, this binary module is *inside* the *card*. It may "only" limit your ability to update/modify the kernel which is running *in* the card. I don't see much of a problem in that (note that the firmware of current DVB full-featured cards is completely closed!), while some others do.
