Nope, no apt or rpm's for the dvb drivers.. No reason why it couldn't be 
supported but I suspect that knowbody will be interested in adding 2.4 
kernel support as its a standard/built-in as of 2.6.. Might be best if 
you wait for a stable version of 2.6 to come along. I understand Fedora 
Core 2 (April maybe) will be 2.6...

I've had a couple of goes with vanila 2.4 and 2.6 kernels with no 
success on my machine. THere are just to many fixes and back ports in 
the fedora/redhat it appears to work with my setup.
