I have tried this, but for me, it does not work. My USB/input system
were already compiled as modules (as are the DVB drivers)

I have a Hauppauge WinTV Nova-T, kernel 2.4.20, latest drivers from CVS.

When I insert the modules, everything is fine.

I can then tune the card in with "dvbtune".

However, when I start streaming from the card, I get the kernel oops
others have reported. This only occurs when the machine is first
switched on...... when I reboot after this initial Oops, everything
works perfectly.
