- Get set up for compiling a kernel (there's documentation on the net about how to do that for your system). Compile and install a 'vanilla' kernel to prove that it will work before applying the patch.
- cd /usr/src/linux/drivers/media/dvb/frontends
- patch < whatever/you/saved/the/patch
- recompile the kernel, reboot to use it, and then try to scan the extra transports using 'scan' or mythtv-setup or whatever.
