It's actually Broadcom who's to blame for the crappy support. If the chipsets had been more open, all boxes would be running the same kernel version.
My offer still stands: For any box with open hardware specs (i.e. you can actually get the information you need to write a driver) I will supply and maintain the Linux DVB drivers free of charge.

maybe some people attracted by the dark force are preferring drivers development by professionals 
I don't have a problem with "lazy manufacturers" when I can reach the driver developer via e-Mail or chat and he fixes problems within a few hours or days ... free of charge ....

Well okay them, we still have "some" requests to quite a bit of manufacturers, so you forward them and get them fixed rightaway?

I don't read PM -> if you have something to ask or to report, do it in the forum so others can benefit. I don't take freelance jobs.
Ik lees geen PM -> als je iets te vragen of te melden hebt, doe het op het forum, zodat anderen er ook wat aan hebben.

Why keep 'feeding' him with arguments if you are obviously not on speaking terms with this person? In my case I would just ignore him. Especially when you say he always has the ladt word...

I only try to point out that sharing wet dreams of getting full access to the microcode and the driver sources doesn't really solve problems.
If community isn't able to solve simple things like reverse engineering the VUnderboxes' CI+ support so that it wortks again in all images (probably less than 1h effort) then it is not about getting paid or not.

VUnderboxes?
And who said the community isn't able to solve a reverse engineering task. Most of the current CI+ implementations suck, they are not compatible across brands, they incorporate binary blobs and illegal certificates, etc.
So the challenge is not the reverse engineering bit, the challenge is to come up with a generic, vendor independent way of implementing CI+, without the need for binary blobs and illegal stuff in the image. We did this for softcams with the capmt interface, and I am confident that we will manage to do so for CI+. But that doesn't happen overnight.
Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Ultimate (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)
Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.
Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

Everything has pros and cons and IMHO the pros outweigh the cons.That is right but in the same time it makes the manufacturers lazy...
It also unifies things, there are also some manufacturers which simply do not exist anymore (We still build Azbox for example).
