Mine is a "Budget/Nova" card, meaning I get a raw MPEG stream rather than
just an analogue output on the card.  It requires a kernel module to be
loaded, then I use dvbstream piped to netcat and then at the other end,
netcat piped to mplayer.  Works quite well, except that the streams are too
much bandy for 802.11b, so I need to use the wired network.  I'll probably
at some stage patch dvbstream to allow tuning to a different station without
breaking the stream, and do efficient rescaling to use less bandwidth
without breaking my CPU.
