Did you also delete the ~/.tvtime directory where tvtime shores its
personal configs?  I have 2 files in there, stationlist.xml and
tvtime.xml
It is safe to delete that directory because the first time tvtime is
started it will recreate that one.

And, no I do not have an audio jumper installed for the Wintv Go card in
that machine.
I do have another card (pdhdtv 5500) that uses an audio cable to the
line in on  my sound card in a different machine.

I will have to look at that this weekend.

My point was that with FC5 the drivers for my card are already
available.  With FC2 they are not and you have to jump through hoops to
get everything working.
