Ok I'm getting close.....
How do I get mplayer to work? It's confused about the "tuner type"....
Do I need a simple flag, or to upgrade my version of mplayer?
I have download and build the drivers, kernel, etc ...
I can run tvtime and see the analog stuff....
run atscscan and have a ~/.mplayer/channels.conf
