Ok.

Not needed if you use "dvb-kernel". (see below)

I don't vote for this, please use "dvb-kernel". "DVB" and "dvb-kernel" 
have the same DVB API, it's just the full-featured av7110 driver that's 
different (that doesn't affect you). For your setup, using "dvb-kernel" 
is definately better, because the bttv <=> nebula integration is much 
better.

Ok.

Not needed.

>  8. Build V4L
What does that mean? You mean "Video4Linux" support in the kernel?

>  9. make in DVB/driver
> 10. install in DVB/driver
Not needed.

> 11. make in dvb-kernel/build-2.4
> 12. install in dvb-kernel/build-2.4
Ok.

> 13. make bttv
> 14. install bttv
Not needed, use the in-kernel bttv driver.

> 15. Run dvb-nebula to start modules.
Ok.

> Does that make sense?  Where does Video4linux2 come into the picture?
You have a so-called budget card without video functionality, so v4l2 
doesn't affect you.

> Is there a patch that works for the released 2.4.23 kernel?
You don't need a patch for a 2.4.23 + bttv + nebula.

Pleae have a look at the "README.bt8xx" for futher details + descriptions.
