There is no mpeg2 decoder on the SkyStar, you will need soft mpeg2
decoding. I use vdr-xine with xine's sofware decoder. 

I have a button that loads the modules and my runvdr script is modified
to check that the modules are in the kernel. 

LSMOD="`/sbin/lsmod | grep -w 'dvb-core' | wc -l`"

I also use modprobe which should be used with 2.6 kernels instead of the
old module commands

Hope this helps.

BTW if anyone has the last 6 laps of yesterdays MotoGP, I run out of
disk space because of the interruption for rain...
