Err, of course.

Uhm, what? Another user gave me a hint with "ntuxzap -e" which made
/dev/ost/dvr0 output some data ;) This could be documented on a good
place.

But there is the next problem: if I try to make the TS stream useable,
it fails.

cat /dev/ost/dvr0 | ts2ps 0 0 > bla.mpg

This behaves different, each time when I start it. Either there is 

a) just no data, or 
b) the headers seems to be okay (mplayer detects picture- and sound
   formats), but the picture is black and sound is absolute silence or
c) the data is binary trash. It is detected as in b), but it's only
   noise and crapy picture.
