[linux-dvb] Re: Newby: Hauppauge Nova-T card: tzap error




dvbtune worked like a dream.  I am compiling up all the other parts
required to get a picture as we speak.  Each piece involves jumping
through hoops, but so far none have been too high.

Requirements from DaveP's email 
http://linuxtv.org/mailinglists/linux-dvb/2001/11-2001/msg00184.html are
dumprtp, ts2pes (part of DVB distro), mplayer requires a different gcc
than the RedHat distributed one.

Cripes I may even get there tonight)
