I still can't get this workig properly.  I am pretty sure the real problem
has nothing to do with permissions since (as I already noticed) this was
run as root.

Any ideas here?

BTW: While searching for the reason of the above-mentioned tuning problem,
I noticed an other strange behavior:  When I szap to an arbitrary program
and put the stream into a file with "cat /dev/dvb/adapterX/dvr0 >file.mpg",
I can play the resulting file with mplayer, but vlc don't do anything.
The resulting file seems to be a TS (requested with DMX_SET_PES_FILTER).
How do I set up the filter to make vlc play it properly?
