When I ran:
    hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
I got the following:
    abort: destination 'v4l-dvb' already exists

When I ran:
    sudo modprobe cx18
I got the following:
    FATAL: Module cx18 not found.

I still do not have any channels listed and my upcoming recordings list is
empty.  Do you have any ideas on what I need to do to compile my Hauppauge
HVR-1600?

Thanks,
Greg
