>Description:

	hps asked me to send-pr this so he doesn't forget:

	webcamd currently prints (some) dvb tuner remote's events
	on stdout, if it would create a /dev/input/event* device
	node like on Linux then software like vdr with the remote
	plugin could probably use the remote.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Test webcamd with a PCTV 452e Sat HDTV Pro USB dvb-s2 tuner
	and press buttons on its remote.
