[mythtv-users] rpm or apt version with dvb already compiled??

[gazzer82-lists1234 at mailblocks.com]

Ok so if thats the case, can i recompile mythtv from a srpm with DVB 
support, then repackage it and install. Therefor (being as i used 
apt-get to install) all the depandencies would already be sorted and i 
could also pass on a DVB built rpm for those people out there banging 
there heads against a brick wall??

P.S i am not entirely sure how i would recompile RPM from SRPM, i am 
using fedora core1 and the Atrpms mythtv-suite and i have downloaded 
the mythtv srpm from Atrpms.

Thanks in advance, i am going to get this working if it bloody kills me 
;)

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.
