Forgot to ask: are talking about digital or analog channels? I've tried tvtime, but I couldn't catch any digital channel (maybe I'm missing something - never used tvtime before). However, mplayer works fine with both analog/digital. Have you tried mplayer? I don't have much time to investigate until weekend, will report back later. -- Cheers, Sergey
