tuxplayer requires ntuxzap, rtuxzap or tuxzap to set the channel and
switch on the output via /dev/ost/dvr. Otherwise it would block the
demuxes and you couldn't switch the programs.
i haven't done much work on tuxplayer recently, so there may still be
other problems with the program. I mainly use rtuxzap and cat for
recording and ntuxplayer for playback, which are more convenient for
me with a ir-remote and a notebook or an ipaq via wavelan. My main
dvb-receiver/computer has no monitor.
