[linux-dvb] Re: Pinnacle PCTV Sat - dvb-bt8xx

[Manu Abraham <manu@kromtek.com>]

	The easier way is to go with 2.6 and dvb-kernel
./makelinks <kernel-src-path> would be fine...

	Just a kernel compile with the right modules would be fine.
You have to enable V4l in the kernel config then only the dvb-bt8xx module 
comes up I think ....

	Easier than 2.4, i believe ...

Manu
