You can use the NEWSTRUCT branch right now. Check it out of CVS using 
these commands:

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
[press enter when you are asked for a password]

$ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv -z3 \
    checkout -rNEWSTRUCT DVB

whenever you want to update use

$ cvs -z3 update -dPrNEWSTRUCT

I suggest everyone to use the new branch as soon as possible and port 
your software soon, you'll avoid a lot of pitfalls in the old drivers 
and help to test the new driver and spot out bugs early.

thanks,

Holger
