To get the latest sources from CVS you need to issue the following commands:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
(use an empty password)
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co dvb-kernel
-(use any other module you are interested in instead of dvb-kernel)
+(use any other module you are interested in instead of dvb-kernel, you can check +with viewcvs which modules exist)
If you want to check out the current drivers for the 2.4 kernel, please use:
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co -rlinux_2_4 dvb-kernel
(use any other module you are interested in instead of dvb-kernel)

This is similar to DVB but uses a differernt CVSROOT:
+cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux login
+cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxtv.org:/cvs/video4linux co video4linux
+You can later update your sources by running:
cvs -z3 up -dP
+You can browse the files in the CVS repository with viewcvs. You can also download on-the-fly generated tarballs, but please use this feature sparingly as it puts a high load on the machine. If you find yourself downloading the newest sources regularly you should consider using anon-cvs access, as described above.
+To browse the video4linux CVS select the "v4l" tree in the upper right +of the viewcvs page, or use the link below.
