                     48: 
                     49:   !!WARNING!!
                     50:   This version is only released because some people are anxiously waiting 
                     51:   for better recording/playback (i.e. without lock ups :-) and support for 
                     52:   CI. You probably will not get much out of it if you are not a programmer.
                     53:   !!WARNING!!
                     54: 
                     55:   There is a new config file format which is explained in DVB/doc/channel.
                     56:   gVideo does not support this or encrypted channels yet (and no, the record 
                     57:   and playback buttons also do not do anything yet).
                     58:   You have to use the library and test programs in DVB/libdvb to do channel 
                     59:   searching and to get encrypted channels (You also need a CI module and a
                     60:   working smart card of course.)
                     61:   Please do not ask for details about the test programs in DVB/libdvb or 
                     62:   complain if they do not compile/work/whatever. They were never intended to
                     63:   be released. If you are not a programmer yourself, please wait for the real
                     64:   0.4.0 release.
                     65: 
                     66:   CyberLogin is also not up to date. I read the patches in the mailing list 
                     67:   and also got a new version from Diego. I still have to merge all of this 
                     68:   into one new version.
                     69: 
                     70:   If you are not using a current 2.3.x kernel you will also have to use an
                     71:   older version of i2c-core.c.
                     72:   Copy it from /usr/src/linux/driver/char if you use 2.3.x or from the last
                     73:   DVB driver release if you use 2.2.x.
