+ 2004-05-14 - firmware loader is working
+ 2004-05-11 - start writing the driver
+
+1. How to use?
+NOTE: This driver was developed using Linux 2.6.6.,
+it is working with 2.6.7 and above.
+
+Linux 2.4.x support is not planned, but patches are very welcome.
+
+NOTE: I'm using Debian testing, so the following explaination (especially
+the hotplug-path) needn't match your system, but probably it will :).
+
+The driver is included in the kernel since Linux 2.6.10.
+
+1.1. Firmware
+
+The USB driver needs to download a firmware to start working.
+
+You can either use "get_dvb_firmware dibusb" to download the firmware or you
+can get it directly via
+
+for USB1.1 (AN2135)
+http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-5.0.0.11.fw
+
+for USB1.1 (AN2235) (a few Artec T1 devices)
+http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
+
+for USB2.0 (FX2) Hauppauge, DiBcom
+http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-6.0.0.5.fw
+
+for USB2.0 ADSTech/Kworld USB2.0
+http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-adstech-usb2-1.fw
+
+for USB2.0 HanfTek
+http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-dibusb-an2235-1.fw
+
+
+1.2. Compiling
+
+Since the driver is in the linux kernel, activating the driver in
+your favorite config-environment should sufficient. I recommend
+to compile the driver as module. Hotplug does the rest.
+
+1.3. Loading the drivers
+
+Hotplug is able to load the driver, when it is needed (because you plugged
+in the device).
+
+If you want to enable debug output, you have to load the driver manually and
+from withing the dvb-kernel cvs repository.
+
+first have a look, which debug level are available:
+
+modinfo dib3000mb
+modinfo dib3000-common
+modinfo dib3000mc
+modinfo dvb-dibusb
+
+modprobe dib3000-common debug=<level>
+modprobe dib3000mb debug=<level>
+modprobe dib3000mc debug=<level>
+modprobe dvb-dibusb debug=<level>
+
+should do the trick.
+
+When the driver is loaded successfully, the firmware file was in
+the right place and the device is connected, the "Power"-LED should be
+turned on.
+
+At this point you should be able to start a dvb-capable application. For myself
+I used mplayer, dvbscan, tzap and kaxtv, they are working. Using the device
+in vdr is working now also.
+
+2. Known problems and bugs
+
+- Don't remove the USB device while running an DVB application, your system will die.
+
+2.1. Adding support for devices
+
+It is not possible to determine the range of devices based on the DiBcom
+reference designs. This is because the reference design of DiBcom can be sold
+to thirds, without telling DiBcom (so done with the Twinhan VP7041 and
+the HAMA device).
+
+When you think you have a device like this and the driver does not recognizes it,
+please send the ****load*.inf and the ****cap*.inf of the Windows driver to me.
+
+Sometimes the Vendor or Product ID is identical to the ones of Twinhan, even
+though it is not a Twinhan device (e.g. HAMA), then please send me the name
+of the device. I will add it to this list in order to make this clear to
+others.
+
+If you are familar with C you can also add the VID and PID of the device to
+the dvb-dibusb-core.c-file and create a patch and send it over to me or to
+the linux-dvb mailing list, _after_ you have tried compiling and modprobing
+it.
+
+2.2. USB1.1 Bandwidth limitation
+
+Most of the currently supported devices are USB1.1 and thus they have a
+maximum bandwidth of about 5-6 MBit/s when connected to a USB2.0 hub.
+This is not enough for receiving the complete transport stream of a
+DVB-T channel (which can be about 16 MBit/s). Normally this is not a
+problem, if you only want to watch TV (this does not apply for HDTV),
+but watching a channel while recording another channel on the same
+frequency simply does not work very well. This applies to all USB1.1
+DVB-T devices, not just dibusb)
+
+Update: For the USB1.1 and VDR some work has been done (patches and comments
+are still very welcome). Maybe the problem is solved in the meantime because I
+now use the dmx_sw_filter function instead of dmx_sw_filter_packet. I hope the
+linux-dvb software filter is able to get the best of the garbled TS.
+
+The bug, where the TS is distorted by a heavy usage of the device is gone
+definitely. All dibusb-devices I was using (Twinhan, Kworld, DiBcom) are
+working like charm now with VDR. Sometimes I even was able to record a channel
+and watch another one.
+
+2.3. Comments
+
+Patches, comments and suggestions are very very welcome.
+
+3. Acknowledgements
+ Amaury Demol (ademol@dibcom.fr) and Francois Kanounnikoff from DiBcom for

+HOWTO: Get An Avermedia DVB-T working under Linux
+ ______________________________________________
+
+ Table of Contents
+ Assumptions and Introduction
+ The Avermedia DVB-T
+ Getting the card going
+ Receiving DVB-T in Australia
+ Known Limitations
+ Further Update
+
+Assumptions and Introduction
+
+ It is assumed that the reader understands the basic structure
+ of the Linux Kernel DVB drivers and the general principles of
+ Digital TV.
+
+ One significant difference between Digital TV and Analogue TV
+ that the unwary (like myself) should consider is that,
+ although the component structure of budget DVB-T cards are
+ substantially similar to Analogue TV cards, they function in
+ substantially different ways.
+
+ The purpose of an Analogue TV is to receive and display an
+ Analogue Television signal. An Analogue TV signal (otherwise
+ known as composite video) is an analogue encoding of a
+ sequence of image frames (25 per second) rasterised using an
+ interlacing technique. Interlacing takes two fields to
+ represent one frame. Computers today are at their best when
+ dealing with digital signals, not analogue signals and a
+ composite video signal is about as far removed from a digital
+ data stream as you can get. Therefore, an Analogue TV card for
+ a PC has the following purpose:
+
+ * Tune the receiver to receive a broadcast signal
+ * demodulate the broadcast signal
+ * demultiplex the analogue video signal and analogue audio
+ signal (note some countries employ a digital audio signal
+ embedded within the modulated composite analogue signal -
+ NICAM.)
+ * digitize the analogue video signal and make the resulting
+ datastream available to the data bus.
+
+ The digital datastream from an Analogue TV card is generated
+ by circuitry on the card and is often presented uncompressed.
+ For a PAL TV signal encoded at a resolution of 768x576 24-bit
+ color pixels over 25 frames per second - a fair amount of data
+ is generated and must be proceesed by the PC before it can be
+ displayed on the video monitor screen. Some Analogue TV cards
+ for PC's have onboard MPEG2 encoders which permit the raw
+ digital data stream to be presented to the PC in an encoded
+ and compressed form - similar to the form that is used in
+ Digital TV.
+
+ The purpose of a simple budget digital TV card (DVB-T,C or S)
+ is to simply:
+
+ * Tune the received to receive a broadcast signal.
+ * Extract the encoded digital datastream from the broadcast
+ signal.
+ * Make the encoded digital datastream (MPEG2) available to
+ the data bus.
+
+ The significant difference between the two is that the tuner
+ on the analogue TV card spits out an Analogue signal, whereas
+ the tuner on the digital TV card spits out a compressed
+ encoded digital datastream. As the signal is already
+ digitised, it is trivial to pass this datastream to the PC
+ databus with minimal additional processing and then extract
+ the digital video and audio datastreams passing them to the
+ appropriate software or hardware for decoding and viewing.
+ _________________________________________________________
+
+The Avermedia DVB-T
+
+ The Avermedia DVB-T is a budget PCI DVB card. It has 3 inputs:
+
+ * RF Tuner Input
+ * Composite Video Input (RCA Jack)
+ * SVIDEO Input (Mini-DIN)
+
+ The RF Tuner Input is the input to the tuner module of the
+ card. The Tuner is otherwise known as the "Frontend" . The
+ Frontend of the Avermedia DVB-T is a Microtune 7202D. A timely
+ post to the linux-dvb mailing list ascertained that the
+ Microtune 7202D is supported by the sp887x driver which is
+ found in the dvb-hw CVS module.
+
+ The DVB-T card is based around the BT878 chip which is a very
+ common multimedia bridge and often found on Analogue TV cards.
+ There is no on-board MPEG2 decoder, which means that all MPEG2
+ decoding must be done in software, or if you have one, on an
+ MPEG2 hardware decoding card or chipset.
+ _________________________________________________________
+
+Getting the card going
+
+ In order to fire up the card, it is necessary to load a number
+ of modules from the DVB driver set. Prior to this it will have
+ been necessary to download these drivers from the linuxtv CVS
+ server and compile them successfully.
+
+ Depending on the card's feature set, the Device Driver API for
+ DVB under Linux will expose some of the following device files
+ in the /dev tree:
+
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/osd0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0
+
+ The primary device nodes that we are interested in (at this
+ stage) for the Avermedia DVB-T are:
+
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
+ * /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0
+
+ The dvr0 device node is used to read the MPEG2 Data Stream and
+ the frontend0 node is used to tune the frontend tuner module.
+
+ At this stage, it has not been able to ascertain the
+ functionality of the remaining device nodes in respect of the
+ Avermedia DVBT. However, full functionality in respect of
+ tuning, receiving and supplying the MPEG2 data stream is
+ possible with the currently available versions of the driver.
+ It may be possible that additional functionality is available
+ from the card (i.e. viewing the additional analogue inputs
+ that the card presents), but this has not been tested yet. If
+ I get around to this, I'll update the document with whatever I
+ find.
+
+ To power up the card, load the following modules in the
+ following order:
+
+ * insmod dvb-core.o
+ * modprobe bttv.o
+ * insmod bt878.o
+ * insmod dvb-bt8xx.o
+ * insmod sp887x.o
+
+ Insertion of these modules into the running kernel will
+ activate the appropriate DVB device nodes. It is then possible
+ to start accessing the card with utilities such as scan, tzap,
+ dvbstream etc.
+
+ The frontend module sp887x.o, requires an external firmware.
+ Please use the command "get_dvb_firmware sp887x" to download
+ it. Then copy it to /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware.
+
+Receiving DVB-T in Australia
+
+ I have no experience of DVB-T in other countries other than
+ Australia, so I will attempt to explain how it works here in
+ Melbourne and how this affects the configuration of the DVB-T
+ card.
+
+ The Digital Broadcasting Australia website has a Reception
+ locatortool which provides information on transponder channels
+ and frequencies. My local transmitter happens to be Mount
+ Dandenong.
+
+ The frequencies broadcast by Mount Dandenong are:
+
+ Table 1. Transponder Frequencies Mount Dandenong, Vic, Aus.
+ Broadcaster Channel Frequency
+ ABC VHF 12 226.5 MHz
+ TEN VHF 11 219.5 MHz
+ NINE VHF 8 191.625 MHz
+ SEVEN VHF 6 177.5 MHz
+ SBS UHF 29 536.5 MHz
+
+ The Scan utility has a set of compiled-in defaults for various
+ countries and regions, but if they do not suit, or if you have
+ a pre-compiled scan binary, you can specify a data file on the
+ command line which contains the transponder frequencies. Here
+ is a sample file for the above channel transponders:
+# Data file for DVB scan program
+#
+# C Frequency SymbolRate FEC QAM
+# S Frequency Polarisation SymbolRate FEC
+# T Frequency Bandwidth FEC FEC2 QAM Mode Guard Hier
+T 226500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
+T 191625000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
+T 219500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
+T 177500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
+T 536500000 7MHz 2/3 NONE QAM64 8k 1/8 NONE
+
+ The defaults for the transponder frequency and other
+ modulation parameters were obtained from www.dba.org.au.
+
+ When Scan runs, it will output channels.conf information for
+ any channel's transponders which the card's frontend can lock
+ onto. (i.e. any whose signal is strong enough at your
+ antenna).
+
+ Here's my channels.conf file for anyone who's interested:

+
+Known Limitations
+
+ At present I can say with confidence that the frontend tunes
+ via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/frontend0 and supplies an MPEG2 stream
+ via /dev/dvb/adapter{x}/dvr0. I have not tested the
+ functionality of any other part of the card yet. I will do so
+ over time and update this document.
+
+ There are some limitations in the i2c layer due to a returned
+ error message inconsistency. Although this generates errors in
+ dmesg and the system logs, it does not appear to affect the
+ ability of the frontend to function correctly.
+ _________________________________________________________
+
+Further Update
+
+ dvbstream and VideoLAN Client on windows works a treat with
+ DVB, in fact this is currently serving as my main way of
+ viewing DVB-T at the moment. Additionally, VLC is happily
+ decoding HDTV signals, although the PC is dropping the odd
+ frame here and there - I assume due to processing capability -
+ as all the decoding is being done under windows in software.
+
+ Many thanks to Nigel Pearson for the updates to this document
+ since the recent revision of the driver.

+How to get the Nebula, PCTV and Twinhan DST cards working
+=========================================================
+
+This class of cards has a bt878a as the PCI interface, and
+require the bttv driver.
+
+Please pay close attention to the warning about the bttv module
+options below for the DST card.
+
+1) General informations
+=======================
+
+These drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means to access
+the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
+
+Because of this, you need to enable
+"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
+ => "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
+
+2) Loading Modules
+==================
+
+In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
+i2c communication for us. Next you need the common dvb-bt8xx device driver
+and one frontend driver.
+
+The bttv driver will HANG YOUR SYSTEM IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THE CORRECT
+CARD ID!
+
+(If you don't get your card running and you suspect that the card id you're
+using is wrong, have a look at "bttv-cards.c" for a list of possible card
+ids.)
+
+Pay attention to failures when you load the frontend drivers
+(e.g. dmesg, /var/log/messages).
+
+3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
+--------------------------
+
+ $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68
+ $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
+
+For Nebula cards use the "nxt6000" frontend driver:
+ $ modprobe nxt6000
+
+For Pinnacle PCTV cards use the "cx24110" frontend driver:
+ $ modprobe cx24110
+
+3b) TwinHan
+-----------
+
+ $ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
+ $ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
+ $ modprobe dst
+
+The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx, which
+is necessary for TwinHan cards.#
+
+If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks your
+machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the DVB mailing list.
+
+The DST module takes a couple of useful parameters, in case the
+dst drivers fails to detect your type of card correctly.
+
+dst_type takes values 0 (satellite), 1 (terrestial TV), 2 (cable).
+
+dst_type_flags takes bit combined values:
+1 = new tuner type packets. You can use this if your card is detected
+ and you have debug and you continually see the tuner packets not
+ working (make sure not a basic problem like dish alignment etc.)
+
+2 = TS 204. If your card tunes OK, but the picture is terrible, seemingly
+ breaking up in one half continually, and crc fails a lot, then
+ this is worth a try (or trying to turn off)
+
+4 = has symdiv. Some cards, mostly without new tuner packets, require
+ a symbol division algorithm. Doesn't apply to terrestial TV.
+
+You can also specify a value to have the autodetected values turned off
+(e.g. 0). The autodected values are determined bythe cards 'response
+string' which you can see in your logs e.g.
+
+dst_check_ci: recognize DST-MOT
+
+or
+
+dst_check_ci: unable to recognize DSTXCI or STXCI

+Hardware supported by the linuxtv.org DVB drivers
+=================================================
+
+ Generally, the DVB hardware manufacturers frequently change the
+ frontends (i.e. tuner / demodulator units) used, usually without
+ changing the product name, revision number or specs. Some cards
+ are also available in versions with different frontends for
+ DVB-S/DVB-C/DVB-T. Thus the frontend drivers are listed seperately.
+
+ Note 1: There is no guarantee that every frontend driver works
+ out of the box with every card, because of different wiring.
+
+ Note 2: The demodulator chips can be used with a variety of
+ tuner/PLL chips, and not all combinations are supported. Often
+ the demodulator and tuner/PLL chip are inside a metal box for
+ shielding, and the whole metal box has its own part number.

+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.
+

+ DVB sniffer program to monitor, analyze, debug, dump
+ or view dvb/mpeg/dsm-cc/mhp stream information (TS,
+ PES, SECTION)
+
+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 packets at all
+
+ Run tcpdump on the dvb0_0 interface. This sets the interface
+ into promiscous mode so it accepts any packets from the PID
+ you have configured with the dvbnet utility. Check if there
+ are any packets with the IP addr and MAC addr you have
+ configured with ifconfig.
+
+ If tcpdump doesn't give you any output, check the statistics
+ which ifconfig outputs. (Note: If the MAC address is wrong,
+ dvb_net won't get any input; thus you have to run tcpdump
+ before checking the statistics.) If there are no packets at
+ all then maybe the PID is wrong. If there are error packets,
+ then either the PID is wrong or the stream does not conform to
+ the MPE standard (EN 301 192, http://www.etsi.org/). You can
+ use e.g. dvbsnoop for debugging.
+
+6. 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"
+
+7. What the hell are all those modules that need to be loaded?
+
+ For a dvb-ttpci av7110 based full-featured card the following
+ modules are loaded:
+
+ - videodev: Video4Linux core module. This is the base module that
+ gives you access to the "analog" tv picture of the av7110 mpeg2
+ decoder.
+
+ - v4l2-common: common functions for Video4Linux-2 drivers
+
+ - v4l1-compat: backward compatiblity layer for Video4Linux-1 legacy
+ applications
+
+ - dvb-core: DVB core module. This provides you with the
+ /dev/dvb/adapter entries
+
+ - saa7146: SAA7146 core driver. This is need to access any SAA7146
+ based card in your system.
+
+ - saa7146_vv: SAA7146 video and vbi functions. These are only needed
+ for full-featured cards.
+
+ - video-buf: capture helper module for the saa7146_vv driver. This
+ one is responsible to handle capture buffers.
+
+ - dvb-ttpci: The main driver for AV7110 based, full-featued
+ DVB-S/C/T cards

+Linux Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) subsystem
+=============================================
+
+The main development site and CVS repository for these
+drivers is http://linuxtv.org/.
+
+The developer mailing list linux-dvb is also hosted there,
+see http://linuxtv.org/lists.php. Please check
+the archive http://linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/
+and the Wiki http://linuxtv.org/wiki/
+before asking newbie questions on the list.
+
+API documentation, utilities and test/example programs
+are available as part of the old driver package for Linux 2.4
+(linuxtv-dvb-1.0.x.tar.gz), or from CVS (module DVB).
+We plan to split this into separate packages, but it's not
+been done yet.
+
+http://linuxtv.org/downloads/
+
+What's inside this directory:
+
+"cards.txt"
+contains a list of supported hardware.
+
+"contributors.txt"
+is the who-is-who of DVB development
+
+"faq.txt"
+contains frequently asked questions and their answers.
+
+"get_dvb_firmware"
+script to download and extract firmware for those devices
+that require it.
+
+"ttusb-dec.txt"
+contains detailed informations about the
+TT DEC2000/DEC3000 USB DVB hardware.
+
+"bt8xx.txt"
+contains detailed installation instructions for the
+various bt8xx based "budget" DVB cards
+(Nebula, Pinnacle PCTV, Twinhan DST)
+
+"README.dibusb"
+contains detailed information about adapters
+based on DiBcom reference design.
+
+"udev.txt"

+The DVB subsystem currently registers to the sysfs subsystem using the
+"class_simple" interface.
+
+This means that only the basic informations like module loading parameters
+are presented through sysfs. Other things that might be interesting are
+currently *not* available.
+
+Nevertheless it's now possible to add proper udev rules so that the
+DVB device nodes are created automatically.
+
+We assume that you have udev already up and running and that have been
+creating the DVB device nodes manually up to now due to the missing sysfs
+support.
+
+0. Don't forget to disable your current method of creating the
+device nodes manually.
+
+1. Unfortunately, you'll need a helper script to transform the kernel
+sysfs device name into the well known dvb adapter / device naming scheme.
+The script should be called "dvb.sh" and should be placed into a script
+dir where udev can execute it, most likely /etc/udev/scripts/
+
+So, create a new file /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh and add the following:
+------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'
+------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
+
+Don't forget to make the script executable with "chmod".
+
+1. You need to create a proper udev rule that will create the device nodes
+like you know them. All real distributions out there scan the /etc/udev/rules.d
+directory for rule files. The main udev configuration file /etc/udev/udev.conf
+will tell you the directory where the rules are, most likely it's /etc/udev/rules.d/
+
+Create a new rule file in that directory called "dvb.rule" and add the following line:
+------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
+KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"
+------------------------------schnipp------------------------------------------------
+
+If you want more control over the device nodes (for example a special group membership)
+have a look at "man udev".
+
+For every device that registers to the sysfs subsystem with a "dvb" prefix,
+the helper script /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh is invoked, which will then
+create the proper device node in your /dev/ directory.
