-Some very frequently asked questions about linuxtv-dvb
-
-1. The signal seems to die a few seconds after tuning.
-
-	It's not a bug, it's a feature. Because the frontends have
-	significant power requirements (and hence get very hot), they
-	are powered down if they are unused (i.e. if the frontend device
-	is closed). The dvb-core.o module paramter "dvb_shutdown_timeout"
-	allow you to change the timeout (default 5 seconds). Setting the
-	timeout to 0 disables the timeout feature.
-
-2. How can I watch TV?
-
-	The driver distribution includes some simple utilities which
-	are mainly intended for testing and to demonstrate how the
-	DVB API works.
-
-	Depending on whether you have a DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T card, use
-	apps/szap/szap, czap or tzap. You must supply a channel list
-	in ~/.[sct]zap/channels.conf. If you are lucky you can just copy
-	one of the supplied channel lists, or you can create a new one
-	by running apps/scan/scan. If you run scan on an unknown network
-	you might have to supply some start data in apps/scan/initial.h.
-
-	If you have a card with a built-in hardware MPEG-decoder the
-	drivers create a video4linux device (/dev/v4l/video0) which
-	you can use to watch TV with any v4l application. xawtv is known
-	to work. Note that you cannot change channels with xawtv, you
-	have to zap using [sct]zap. If you want a nice application for
-	TV watching and record/playback, have a look at VDR.
-
-	If your card does not have a hardware MPEG decoder you need
-	a software MPEG decoder. Mplayer or xine are known to work.
-	Newsflash: MythTV also has DVB support now.
-	Note: Only very recent versions of Mplayer and xine can decode.
-	MPEG2 transport streams (TS) directly. Then, run
-	'[sct]zap channelname -r' in one xterm, and keep it running,
-	and start 'mplayer - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0' or 
-	'xine stdin://mpeg2 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0' in a second xterm.
-	That's all far from perfect, but it seems no one has written
-	a nice DVB application which includes a builtin software MPEG
-	decoder yet.
-
-	Newsflash: Newest xine directly supports DVB. Just copy your
-	channels.conf to ~/.xine and start 'xine dvb://', or select
-	the DVB button in the xine GUI. Channel switching works using the
-	numpad pgup/pgdown (NP9 / NP3) keys to scroll through the channel osd
-	menu and pressing numpad-enter to switch to the selected channel.
-
-	Note: Older versions of xine and mplayer understand MPEG program
-	streams (PS) only, and can be used in conjunction with the
-	ts2ps tool from the Metzler Brother's dvb-mpegtools package.

-
-4. Can't get a signal tuned correctly
-
-	If you are using a Technotrend/Hauppauge DVB-C card *without* analog
-	module, you might have to use module parameter adac=-1 (dvb-ttpci.o).
-
-5. The dvb_net device doesn't give me any multicast packets
-
-	Check your routes if they include the multicast address range.
-	Additionally make sure that "source validation by reversed path
-	lookup" is disabled:
-	  $ "echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/dvb0/rp_filter"
