 Ok, now grab "dvb-kernel" from CVS:  
   
   $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login  
   $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel  
   
 ... and build the driver:  
   
   $ cd dvb-kernel/build-2.4  
   $ ./getlinks  
   $ make  
   $ make install  
   
 If you don't use devfs (or your devfs setup is not configured  
 correctly) you might need to add the device nodes manually with the  
 "makedev" script from the DVB driver:  
 http://linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/DVB/driver/makedev.napi?rev=1.14&content-type=text/plain  
   
 2) 2.6  
 ======  
   
 For 2.6, you don't need the latest bttv driver, everything is in  
 the kernel drivers. Please use 2.6.0 and above.  
   
 Checkout dvb-kernel as mentioned above, but then do everything as per  
 the README in dvb-kernel.  
   
 Unfortunately, in some older kernels the bttv card lists have the  
 TwinHan cards listed as card=0x68. (see below) Using card=0x71 there  
 will lockup your machine.
