 Some words about Siemens-DVB card support.         by A'rpi
 ==========================================
 
-NOTE: this is very experimental!
-
 Requirements:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 - Siemens DVB-S card or compatible (technotrend,galaxis,hauppage etc)
   see www.linuxtv.org for details and download latest driver there.
-- MPlayer-CVS, ffmpeg-libavcodec. divx4linux is recommended for speed & pp.
-- Fast CPU - at least for software decoding (divx...)
+- MPlayer-CVS, ffmpeg-libavcodec CVS are recommended for speed & pp.
+- Fast CPU - 1GHz+ recommended at least for software transcoding (divx->mpeg)
 
 
 How to enable?
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-1. Download ffmpeg-CVS and copy libavcodec to mplayer (see DOC for details)
-   Move this line from #ifdef CONFIG_ENCODERS .. #endif section to outside
-   (after the #endif line) at libavcodec/utils.c:361 :
-       register_avcodec(&mpeg1video_encoder);
+1. Download ffmpeg-CVS and copy libavcodec to mplayer (see DOCS for details)
 
 2. Compile mplayer:
     ./configure should detect it. If didn't, force with ./configure --enable-dvb

+If you have powerfull CPU, you can also scale image up, using the
