Yeah, I finally broke down and installed fxtv just to see if my card was working properly, yea, it is! Unfortunately the way I finally viewed TeeVee was running VNCserver on the headless box, then connecting across my 802.11b local wireless with VNCviewer. UGLY setup for sure. BUT now I'm getting wi0 timeout errors on the headless box, can't clear them unless I reboot the box. The 802.11b stuff is temporary, until I get my 802.11g stuff in. I live in the dark ages of 802.11b 'cause my internet connection is a whopping 144Kbps, iDSL sucks, but it's all you can get in the hinterlands. thanks, I'll install mplayer after I finish an updated firefox to one of my other systems. diana PS any one know what happened to Jake?
