Seems like a pretty comprehensive guide. Some notes about the version of the driver that comes with kernel 2.6.1, though: No need to copy the firmware to /etc/dvb/ (make menuconfig points to a document describing how to get the firmware now). No need to uncheck 'Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware' - the driver uses the 2.6 kernel firmware loader now. There is no dec2000-frontend module any more - the frontend is provided by the ttusb-dec module. It supports section filters to some extent, so you can use the scan utility (found in the linux-dvb tarball) to produce a channels.conf file. A couple of other things: It's /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 not /dev/dvb/adapter0/vdr0 You might want to try different video outputs with mplayer. Most people find that -vo xv works well. ts2ps reports data rates from the mpeg headers. These are often wrong, but players won't care. Actual rates for terristrial DVB are about 4-6Mbits/s.
