I using vdr v1.1.20 and currently running linux-dvb.2003-01-08-ci-ll,
although I must have tried over twenty different versions up to this
point!  When you say NEWSTRUCT don't you mean HEAD?  Holger Waechtler
also suggested using the Metxler Bros version which is essentially the
same as HEAD with extra merged patches that have not yet been applied to
/DVB.  Confusing or wot?

I'm up and running and 'quite' stable with vdr v1.1.20 and any of the
recent HEAD versions but I can't compile a working version of dvbtune.
The only version that I can actually get to compile is in the CVS.  But
when I run it is doesn't work (see previous post)
