Now I'm on 42-08, it still feels good, but somebodies done something 
bad for tvtime when its accessing a pcHDTV-3000 card for the src.  No 
video, blue screen.

Thinking that loading it in rc.local was out of order (that works for 
2.6.12-rc1), I've rmmod-ed the whole thing and reloaded after 
starting X, no difference.

and which appears to repeat for every frame it should display.  Very 
voluminous logging.

It works great when running 2.6.12-rc1 FWTW.  Which I'll be doing 
again shortly, but first I'll check out kino & my movie camera, and 
spca50x & my webcam.

kino works, includeing sound, this is ieee1394/firewire stuffs.

And, after a make clean;make;make install in the scpa50x src dir, that 
works.  My scanner works and while I haven't tried to print, the web 
interface says its all ready and waiting to go.  In other words the 
usb appears to be fine.

Networking seems to be ok, mail is coming in more or less normally.

So does anyone have any suggestions as to what to check out in 
tvtime/pcHDTV area.

Humm, in the FWIW category, under the video stuffs in a make xconfig, 
the module/switch/whatever that is under
DVB broadcasting-->DVB for linux-->Core Support, and way down at the 
bottom of the list is "Customize DVB Frontends", and again clear at 
the bottom of the list is "nxt2002 based" which when you check it, 
should show (I think)
 a checkbox infront of the OR51132 Based (pcHDTV)
But it does not.  However, the command to 'modprobe cx88-dvb' does 
load it as can be seen by the lsmod screen above.
