dvb-kernel is where everyone should be moving to. I plan to release
linuxtv-dvb-1.0.0 final rsn, and development of the "DVB" CVS tree
will stop (CVS will possibly stay open for small bug fixes).

*BUT*, due to changes in devfs handling in Linux 2.[56], dvb-kernel
currently limits you to four DVB cards per computer. I guess this
needs to be resolved then...
