Footnote
it has been suggested by linuxtv developper that the following source code change does not help please be advised With the recent kernel drivers the DST front end may fail to load. Kernel 2.6.17 for example. In the source edit drivers/media/dvb/bt8xx/dst.c at about line 89. In the function "int dst_gpio_outb" look for udelay(1000). Change that to msleep(200). Compile and install the modules and your 1025 will work just fine.
