Thanks Mike.  I think my main problem is kernel 2.6.8.1.  I'm currently 
working with FC4 on my test machine (probably bad because of the odd 
hardware glitch).  It has recognised the card and loaded a lot more 
modules automatically.  tvtime plays the analog input from the VCR OK. 
However I have now wasted 2 days chasing dependencies trying to get 
mythtv installed.  Major hangups on firewire support, for which I have 
no need.

I'll try the dvbstream example.
