I'm in the process of rolling my own NOAAPort and have just finished installing 
a new Ubuntu server and installed LDM per the instructions I found at 
http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/mcidas/software/xcd/dvb/ldm_install.html.  I am 
completely new to the world of NOAAPort and LDM, and am therefore struggling 
with the conceptual view of what I yet need to get installed and how to 
configure it for my needs.  What I've gleaned so far is that LDM is a generic 
product and I need a DVB Reader plugin specifically designed to read the 
NOAAPort channels and somehow import that data into LDM.  This is where I'm 
stuck.  I cannot seem to find an accessible DVB Reader anywhere.  The 
"Procedure #2" instructions at the above wisc.edu site seem to be my ticket, 
but I cannot download the DVB Reader for lack of a username and password into 
this site.  I'm looking for input on whether my understanding is correct on the 
remaining steps I need to follow to get to an operational NOAAPort feed, and 
how I can get past this current hurdle of not being able to find downloadable 
DVB Reader software.  Note that if I go into Ubuntu's Synaptic Package Manager 
and search for "DVB Reader", I get a long list of selectable options, but I 
have no idea what I should be installing (if any of them).  Also note that I 
will only be interested at this time in pulling in the NWS data products from 
the NOAAPort, which I believe are on the NWSTG Channel (meaning I currently 
will not be seeking to process the binary and graphical data).  Thank you!
