It's a driver for analog TV, not DVB. DVB could be bolted upon it though. It's 
tuning is different ("subchannels") and you'd need a mpeg backend and 
(optionally or if no a/v decoding driver mandatory) a hardware encoder 
driver. But this is not what the saa driver does as-is, as you have found 
out.

You probably only got a/v decoder support so far. But to think you're better 
off not even looking at a driver that at least works and makes a starting 
point, that just tells me enough.

BTW, I don't recall getting any bug reports or patches from you.
