Hi Harry:

Thanks for the response.

Things actually have just got worse.  I had to reboot the machine, kdetv
does something to the system process table, and causes all manner of
clutter to be left behind, telling me that I have a load of 10 processes,
mostly cron jobs that don't want to terminate despite being kill -9'd,
with both processors being idle..... Now I have no sound card. So I need
to fix that first.

The kernel is:  2.6.22.12-0.1-default

I don't have HD tv, so I'm using the unit for cable.  The (linux) software
that came for it, is quite old, 2006, and references SuSE 9.3.  There is a
xine-hd that they supply, but I don't believe that it is a 64 bit
version.  So I didn't install it, for both reasons.  The SuSE xine just
won't work, it won't configure and won't start.

I'll keep y'all posted.

Thanks
