Hmm did i miss something out ?

AFAIK only if he also wants to use an ols suse, or mess around with
old software to make it work.

I personaly was _never_ able to use kvdr, under no RedHat system ever,
not even with the help of rpmfind.net.

I also have read alot about it ending with ".. either the [old] binary 
works, or forget it.." and since he is a newbee,
i would discurage mentioning kvdr, unless there is a good resource to
explain how to get it running, or offers some versions running  ;-)

(even mplayer is easier to use for dvb-in stuff)
