Hi Kenneth, hi crunchy!

I've attached a patch which converts the dvb-bt8xx driver to the bttv
sub_device interface, and thus makes it work with the converted frontend
drivers. You need to update your bttv drivers to a snapshot, which you can
download from http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/ (dated after 2004-07-22
15:54). I've also made it depend on the bttv.h from the kernel you are
compiling the dvb modules against, so if you are compiling the video4linux
and dvb modules outside the kernel source tree, you will need to copy bt848.h
and bttv.h (overwrite any links with the same name) from the video4linux tree
to the build-2.6 directory before compiling.
this looks good for me(tm)!
I took a:
* linux-2.6.8 kernel
* video4linux-20040730-152601.tar.gz
* dvb-kernel CVS snapshot from today (20040814)
* and your patch.
First it did not work, but I figured that I needed to update and
recompile the dvb-apps.
One problem remains: even after I compiled the current player
(1.0pre5-3.3.3) against my new kernel "mplayer dbb://$CHANNEL" does
not work.

This works. Probably the mplayer code needs some updates due to the
recent changes. I will try to investigate.
