See, I told you sacrificing a goat over the box when the moon is at its 
fullest would do the trick.

For this to work you need to tzap with the -r option and leave it running.  
241 and 242 are the video and audio pids of the channel you want, so change 
them to the relevant numbers.

To change channels in xine, you need to click on the small 'N' button and then 
use the up and down buttons in the small window it opens.  It scrolls through 
the channels.conf file basically.

Recording is easy:

cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > test.ts

xine should play these files back with no problems, or you can use the various 
dvb-mpegtools to convert it into something more widely usable.

To record and view at the same time:

cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 | tee test.ts | ts2ps 241 242 | mplayer

That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge of the userspace tools ;)

Cheers,
Alex
