If for whatever reason you want to use the very latest ivtv driver for any
kernel >= 2.6.12 then you have to use the v4l-dvb repository available from
www.linuxtv.org.

This repository contains the latest and (usually) greatest v4l and dvb
drivers and will build on any kernel >= 2.6.12.

You can either get the repository from here:

  http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/archive/tip.tar.bz2

or by using mercurial and running:

  hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

You build everything by running 'make' and 'make install'.
It will overwrite all existing v4l-dvb modules of your kernel.
