I have just installed the dvb-kernel driver.  How do I watch TV 
using it?  I tried launching xawtv but got this:

This is xawtv-3.85, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.21-0.13mdk)
can't open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/v4l/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
Any ideas?  Should I use a different program?  Thanks,

Tom.



you need to use a software mpeg decoder like xine, to watch tv with 
the nova-usb.

I got:

-xine engine error-
Input plugin failed to open mrl 'dvb://'
Tom.



you need to compile a recent version yourself, and be sure that 
dvb-input support is compiled in (do this with including you 
dvb-kernel/linux dir).



"be sure that dvb-input support is compiled in (do this with including 
you dvb-kernel/linux dir)"

what?  what do you mean by "do this with including your dvb-kernel/linux 
dir"?  like i said, i'm not all too good with this stuff.
