These debs, what are they? How do I use them? I'm a new ubuntu user and I'd love to be able to use xine (for vdr head) on ubuntu this without having to compile it myself..
I don't know if they're installable on whichever Ubuntu release you're using (guess: edgy). Chances are, however, that they are.
The best way to install them is by using the 'deb' line given on the above page and installing via an apt front end (typically aptitude, apt-get or synaptic).

I'll let you know how it goes..
OK. newbie time.. When I try to apt-get update I get the following error:
W: GPG error: http://zap.tartarus.org testing Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY B012AD8CF19F599F W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
Download the key for it (the "(linux)" link at the bottom of the page, or the link which I've just added nearer the top). Once you have it: # apt-key add pubkey.gpg
And, when I issues apt-cache showpkg vdr;
It tells me about both versions available to me (of which, yours is not the preffered source!) How can I select your source, or how can I make your source trusted?
$ man apt_preferences
Edit /etc/apt/preferences. You probably want something like:
Package: * Pin: release o=www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk Pin-Priority: 550
