[linux-dvb] xine support fuer linuxtv dvb driver

[Guenter Bartsch <bartscgr@ra.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de>]

hallo,

first of all congratulations on the 1.0.0 release of your driver.

i've installed it here and it works pretty well with my win tv nova
dvb-s card.

looking at the documentation is saw xine was mentioned, however, xine is
used in a very akward way. recent xine releases have direct support for
your driver and support szap-style channels.conf files. just copy your
channels.conf to ~ /.xine/channels.conf and specify a dvb:// mrl on the
command line, e.g.

xine dvb://
gxine dvb://

alternatively you can select the dvb autoplay button/menu entry to start
watching digital tv using xine. channel switching works using the numpad
pgup/pgdown (NP9 / NP3) keys to scroll through the channel osd menu and
pressing numpad-enter to switch to the selected channel.

maybe the driver documentation could be updated a little here?

thanks and keep up the good work

   guenter
