-2) Loading Modules
-==================
+Please use the following options with care as deselection of drivers which are in fact necessary
+may result in DVB devices that cannot be tuned due to lack of driver support:
+You can save RAM by deselecting every frontend module that your DVB card does not need.
 
-In default cases bttv is loaded automatically.
-To load the backend either place dvb-bt8xx in etc/modules, or apply manually:
+First please remove the static dependency of DVB card drivers on all frontend modules for all possible card variants by enabling:
+d.) "Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
+ => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Load and attach frontend modules as needed"

+If you know the frontend driver that your card needs please enable:
+e.)"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
+ => "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Customise DVB Frontends" => "Customise the frontend modules to build"
+ Then please select your card-specific frontend module.

+2) Loading Modules
+==================
 
-All frontends will be loaded automatically.
+Regular case: If the bttv driver detects a bt8xx-based DVB card, all frontend and backend modules will be loaded automatically.
+Exceptions are:
+- Old TwinHan DST cards or clones with or without CA slot and not containing an Eeprom.
