You should also have the programs <command>scan</command> and
<command>szap/tzap/czap</command> installed; they are all included in
the drivers package.
</para>
<para>
Verify that your drivers are working properly with a program such as
<ulink url="http://www.sf.net/projects/dvbtools/"><command>dvbstream</command></ulink>
(that is the base of the DVB input module).
