Just as a FYI, if you haven't already realised it yourself (though I
suspect you have),  don't bother proceeding with testing with dvbscan or
kaffeine until you get the frontend to initialize (as they are doomed to
fail otherwise).

You can find a parser in the /v4l2-apps/test directory of the v4l-dvb
source .... (I'm not sure why it is in the /test directory and not the
/util , hence my  concurrent message on the list, douglas' pull request,
regarding this).
