Dave, please note that what Holger is describing above only is valid
for the DVB-T card with AV7110, not the Nova card.
AFAIK, only the Nova card is sold by Hauppauge in the UK.
(Can anybody deny or confirm this?)
What kind of card do you have?

With the Nova card you will get no picture from xawtv or other V4L
programs. You will have to use a software decoder for decoding the
MPEG2 stream.
