Are you using 1.1.1 drivers or have you used Andrew's patches?

I have now been able to get channels locked, I just found out that I can 
use "scan" to
generate channel conf for czap. After comparing old and new channel.conf 
I noticed that my handmade
channel.conf was missing the service id field.
I think it would be nice to have fields required documented somewhere. 
(Maybe in the README)
I can try to make some documentation patches after playing and learning 
more from the usage of my card -:)

After getting channel locked with czap I have also been also able to 
show channels by using command
   gxine dvb://
Command
   mplayer dvb://

did now work for me, instead it just gave me a errors I put in the end 
of the mail.

I am also wondering whether I am loading my drivers correctly in the 
modprope.conf.
I have put there following lines I found from one discussion in the net

   alias char-major-81 dvb-ttpci
   alias char-major-250 dvb-ttpci
   alias /dev/dvb/* dvb-ttpci
   alias /dev/dvb/adapter0/* dvb-ttpci
   alias /dev/video* dvb-ttpci
   install dvb-ttpci /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install dvb-ttpci; \
                 /sbin/modprobe ves1820

There are however some issues I do not understand.
First one is the frontdriver, which one I should use and where does it 
affect on?
I have just put ves1820 blindly into my modprobe because I noticed from 
the cards.txt that
there is only it at76c651 available for the DVB-C frontend driver. Is it 
possible to use some program
for finding out all chips my dvb-card has?

Another issue (which belongs more to the VDR newsgroup) is the usage of 
vdr/kvdr.
How they really should work?  If I run "./vdr", the app will just block 
without showing any output.
kvdr gives me a flashing dialog, but nothing else appear there. (not 
even menu)
