Up to [DVB] / DVB

Initial revision

Configuration:

- Make sure that the kernel sources of the kernel you are using (NOT the
  sources of some other kernel) are in the directory /usr/src/linux.
  Otherwise, change the path for KERNEL_LOCATION in DVB/driver/Makefile.
  Note that the configuration of the driver sources also has to match that
  of the kernel you are running.

  You should NOT have the kernel version of the i2c driver installed.
  The videodev driver can be installed, but you could then get some
  error messages below. But the driver should still work.

  It is better if you do not have any parts of Video4Linux installed
  into the kernel when testing the DVB driver.
  I hope our changes will soon be in the standard kernel. The changes are
  minimal. Most only define new constants for the DVB hardware.

- Login as root, change to the directory DVB/driver and type "make".

- If everything compiled without errors, type "make insmod" to install
  the modules.
  During the installation of the modules your PC can "hang" for one or
  two seconds. This happens during the loading of the ARM application 
  and is normal.
  You should also see a picture of Pro7 on the composite output now
  (only if you have an LNB pointing on Astra 1e connected to the antenna   
   input of course).
  If you do not get a picture this might be the fault of a still unresolved
  timing problem on some hardware. But the driver should still work with the
  gVideo application.

- Now change to DVB/apps and type "make"

- gVideo is a gtk application for DVB-S reception 
  a sample config file for Astra is in DVB/apps/xtvrc.astra
  move this file to ~/.xtvrc
  The format of this file is still changing a lot!

- CyberLogin is a login program for EON
  If you have an EON account edit the file CberLogin.ini and start CyberLogin
  after having installed the driver.
  Also read the file DVB/doc/README.EON.
