The problem is that you then would have to implement the DVB network
device in userspace. Possible, but more complicated and it adds
unnecessary overhead if the DVB card can filter in hardware.
It is similar to the situtation with network cards where some have many
hardware multicast filters and others where you might have to
use promiscuous mode and software filters.
I didn't realise that DVB cards also have a network device, this does
indeed complicate a user space solution.
