I'm finding dvbstream (and dvbtune?) an even less intelligible can of 
worms that mythtv.  I've installed rpms for dvbstream-0.5 and 
dvbtune-0.5, but their READMEs and help listings (have they not heard of 
--help?) are less than useful.

When I execute dvbtune -f 571625000 -c 0   I get
FD 5: fd_dvr DEMUX DEVICE: : No such file or directory

When I try     dvbstream -f 571625000      I get
FRONTEND DEVICE: : No such file or directory
FE_GET_INFO: : Bad file descriptor

so the rest of what little documentation is there is useless.  Sorry.

Even if for a different card, a specific example of modules loaded, 
command line, etc., would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Jim
