Well this is fixed for me with a change of distro. I moved from Kubuntu to Kanotix. So maybe it was distro specific? There is just one thing still bugging me - and that's that I still can't change channels in Xine. I use Kaffeine mostly - but I have seen KAXTV break between releases before - so it was always good to have a back up. Does anyone know if the Xine developers are aware of this problem, or if they have any plans to fix it?
