1. You need additional devices. For your convenience, the shell script MAKEDEV-DVB.sh is included in the dvb driver package. Run it as root and you'll get all the required devices. 2. You need to tune to a channel before you may watch it with xine etc. You may use "szap" for this. It is included in the linuxtvb-dvb-apps tar ball. If you have these prerequisites, you may follow the top level README in the dvb driver package to get xine/mplayer working. At least it worked for me (Skystar 2 rev 2.6c. Kernel 2.4.25).
