Package: alevt
Version: 1:1.6.2-1
Severity: minor

There is no mention of the new options (-progname and -pid) which are important 
to be able 
to use the DVB interface properly.

A minimal approach could be to use the corresponding part of the alevt --help 
output:

  The -progname or -pid option specify
  the program or teletext PID if using
  the DVB interface.

But I think something like the following would be more helpful:

The -progname or -pid option specify the program or teletext PID if using the 
DVB interface.

If neither of these two options is used, alevt outputs informations about the 
currently accessible streams
and uses the first of these these PIDs as default. This output contains the 
PIDs and names that can be used
as an input for the -progname or -pid option in the context of the currently 
chosen TV channel.

Examples:
  select teletext stream by PID hex value
  alevt -vbi /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 -pid 0x0237

  select teletext stream by PID decimal value
  alevt -vbi /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 -pid 567

  select teletext stream by program name
  alevt -vbi /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 -progname "kabel eins"
