43: !!WARNING!!
44: This version is only released because some people are anxiously waiting
45: for better recording/playback (i.e. without lock ups :-) and support for
46: CI. You probably will not get much out of it if you are not a programmer.
47: !!WARNING!!
48:
49: There is a new config file format which is explained in DVB/doc/channel.
50: gVideo does not support this or encrypted channels yet (and no, the record
51: and playback buttons also do not do anything yet).
52: You have to use the library and test programs in DVB/libdvb to do channel
53: searching and to get encrypted channels (You also need a CI module and a
54: working smart card of course.)
55: Please do not ask for details about the test programs in DVB/libdvb or
56: complain if they do not compile/work/whatever. They were never intended to
57: be released. If you are not a programmer yourself, please wait for the real
58: 0.4.0 release.
59:
60: CyberLogin is also not up to date. I read the patches in the mailing list
61: and also got a new version from Diego. I still have to merge all of this
62: into one new version.
63:
64: If you are not using a current 2.3.x kernel you will also have to use an
65: older version of i2c-core.c.
66: Copy it from /usr/src/linux/driver/char if you use 2.3.x or from the last
67: DVB driver release if you use 2.2.x.
