Update to question: I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers from NVIDIA's website dated 12/5/05 and same problem. Get video on whatever I have set for the channel in setup.conf but as soon as I change to another channel I lose video. This is after disabling DFB in my kernel and installing the NVIDIA drivers and running Softdevice with the -vo xv: command.
