*                                  Installation
*****************************************************************************

Install make, gcc, and kernel headers for your distribution. Then run:
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe ctn91xx

*****************************************************************************
*                                  Usage
*****************************************************************************

You should see a network interface when you run ifconfig -a called ctn0

You can set a static IP address on the 192.168.200.0/24 subnet (don't
use 192.168.200.1) or just use a dhcp client to get an IP address for it.

The InfiniTV device webpage will be available at http://192.168.200.1
From there you can tune via frequency or channel number. Only ClearQAM and
CCI=0 content is available on linux due to lack of DRM support.

Access video via a special device file created under:
/dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0-5

You can run "mplayer -cache 8192 /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0" to play video
off the first tuner. Depending on your system, extra buffering via the shell 
might improve performance. E.g. 
cat /dev/ceton/ctn91xx_mpeg0_0 | mplayer -cache 8192 -

192.168.200.1
192.168.201.2
192.168.202.3
192.168.203.4
