Configuration is pretty like EON service, you have to use 0.8.2 siemens
drivers you download from <url url="http://www.linuxtv.org/download/dvb" name="LinuxTV">, then you NEED to patch dvbd applications.

First, VoIP don't use TCP cause it is too heavy for real time application,

Firstly, VoIP doesn't use TCP because it is too heavy for real time applications,
so instead a UDP (datagram) is used.
</p>
<p>
In UDP we cannot ordering packets in arrive time (which is a must in VoIP)
because there isn't connection idea, each packet is independent from others
(datagram concept); so we have to introduce a new protocol, such as RTP, able
to manage this.
Secondly, UDP has no control over the order in which packets arrive at
the destination or how long it takes them to get there (datagram concept).
Both of these are very important to overall voice quality (how well you can
understand what the other person is saying) and conversation quality (how easy
it is to carry out a conversation). RTP solves the problem enabling the receiver
to put the packets back into the correct order and not wait too long for packets
that have either lost their way or are taking too long to arrive (we don't
need every single voice packet, but we need a continuous flow of many of them
and ordered).
