Well blimey! it really works
Here are the steps I took to get the Hauppauge Nova-T working on RedHat 7.2 This is all everybody else's hard work, I'm just getting it down before I forget. My system is a stock RedHat 7.2 system. A custom install, including the kernel source, development utilities etc. I downloaded all the RedHat errata updates including the latest kernel and kernel source RPMs from ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os and applied them with rpm -Fvh *.rpm. I am a gnome user, so I then downloaded and ran the Ximian Desktop installer from http://www.go-gnome.org. Finally I run Redcarpet, which comes as part of Ximian Desktop periodical to make sure all my packages keep up to date. This assumes you are logged in as a user who has write access to /usr/local/src and has /usr/local/bin in their path. 1) Prepare the Kernel Source RedHat puts the Kernel source in /usr/src/Linux-2.4 and puts a .config appropriate to your system in that directory. Just to get everything in order - cd /usr/src ln -s linux-2.4 linux cd linux make dep && make && make modules ( No make install, trying to stay in line with distribution ) 2) Download the DVB cvs I'm going to use /usr/local/src to collect together the various parts I need. Download the DVB cvs from linuxtv.org cd /usr/local/src cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv login Just press enter at the password prompt cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs/linuxtv co DVB This creates a DVB directory in /usr/local/src 3)Compile and install the DVB driver as per the docs cd DVB/driver make make install PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin (if you have not already got it) su -c "make insmod" No errors, all cool.

Lets go for Channel 4 Channel 4 eng(TV):481833:V:0:27500:2827:2828:2829:0:8384 from this line, the frequency is 481833 the vpid is 2827 and the apid is 2828. So the command would be dvbtune -f 481833 6) Download and install DVB stream from www.linuxstb.org cd /usr/local/src wget http://www.linuxstb.org/dvbstream/dvbstream-0.3.tar.gz cd dvbstream-0.3 make su -c "cp dumprtp dvbstream rtpfeed ts_filter /usr/local/bin; chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/dumprtp /usr/local/bin/dvbstream /usr/local/bin/rtpfeed /usr/local/bin/ts_filter" If you want to watch on a different machine than the one streaming, you need these binaries on both. You will also need ts2pes from the DVB cvs 7) Install mplayer First, if they are not present, you will need to add the gcc3-3.0.1-3 RPMs from your RedHat CD or local mirror, as the default gcc from Redhat is not supported by the mplayer people. You may need other packages to satisfy the dependencies. For me the following did the trick rpm -ivh gcc3*.rpm libgcc-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm libstdc++3-devel-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm libstdc++3-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm libgcj3-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm libgcj3-devel-3.0.1-3.i386.rpm libgcj-2.96-27.i386.rpm Download the latest mplayer and compile cd /usr/local/src wget http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-0.60.tar.bz2 bzcat MPlayer-0.60.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - cd MPlayer-0.60 ./configure --cc=gcc3 --enable-gui ln -s ../DVB/ost/include/ost ost (the build process does not find these correctly otherwise) make su -c "make install" 8) Start broadcasting some channels across MBone. We are using Channel 4 for this example vpid of 2827 and a apid of 2828 Add a route to the multicast network then start dvbstream su -c "/sbin/route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0 dev eth0" dvbstream 2827 2828 & should result in dvbstream v0.3 - (C) Dave Chapman 2001 Released under the GPL. Latest version available from http://www.linuxstb.org/ Using 224.0.1.2:5004:1 Streaming 2 streams version=2 You can actually stream as many pids as you like from the same Multicast, as long as you have the bandwidth. So you could go for dvbstream 2827 2828 512 650 2818 2819 & which would also stream ITV1 and ITV2 at the same time 9) Start watching. dumprtp | ts2pes 2827 2828 | Mplayer -cache 2000 - Make sure you are not running RealPlayer at the same time, it seems to grab a lock on something stopping Mplayer from working. I find my audio is out of sync a little, I am still working on it. I hope this is of some help.
