Use the dvbstream CVS tree, this should compile fine against a current 
driver.

For szap use the '-r' parameter to tell szap that you want to record the 
stream:

$ szap -r <channelname>
[and let it run forever...]

now, in a second console you can feed the data from the dvr device into 
a file or mplayer:

$ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > /tmp/recording.ts

or

$ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr | ts2ps 0 0 | mplayer -
[ts2ps is part of the mpegtools, available on 
http://www.metzlerbros.org/dvb/]
