It's good to hear that it works with 2.4.x.!
But  I use egcs too and had no errors compiling dvb-cvs with kernel  2.4.2. If I did'nt make a mistake there can only be a difference in the hardware we are using. I use a Hauppauge DVBS 564 017685 which I bought  factory sealed a few weeks ago. 
(I also tried another one of the same type with the same results).

On the other hand there must have been a change in dvb or kernel too as it works for me with kernel 2.2.18 and dvb-0.8.2 

Possibly you have a dvb card which is more tolerant to those changes.

If  you referenced to the script "playdvd.scr" I did of course all steps which are done inside this script otherwise it would'nt work anyway
