DVB-T Plus card.

Said to work very well under linux but not with tvtime, which does not 
support dvb, only older v4l.

http://www.linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ for driver

I downloaded the 2.76MB  .tar.gz file at 2.1 K/sec.

README says to type 'make' to make both v4l and dvb.  I might need to have 
kernel source code installed (I do).
I need perl (I uninstalled 5.60 - 3000+ files).  Later.  Work day.
I need /sbin/lsmod.  I just linked it to my recent busybox.

There is also a 
linuxtv-dbd-apps package to make channels.conf which you copy to ~/.xine.

What is dvb?

It is 5 times as fast as my modem at its best on dry days.
