Thanks for the reply. I gotta say that the wiki is not as informative to a novice as an experienced user might think. I spent about three hours on it last night, but never found a mention of "tvtime." I saw it in local_conf.py, but I couldn't determine what it was for. mplayer works fine on my system. I can use it to view TV directly with `mplayer /dev/cxm0` ... I just can't change channels, 'cause mplayer won't let go the device when I'm switching channels... Not so bad, I guess. Just I'm thinking that freevo is a more complete solution. At least it looks that way. When I press "Enter" on the Freevo gui, while looking at the guide, I get mostly nothing. If I run it from a shell, I can see this: (22, 'Invalid argument') ... but ... I don't know what that is about. What is "the right plugin?" Can I download that from somewhere? Is it called that? "right?" Or am I misinterpreting? I figure from local_conf.py that I can activate and deactivate plugins, I just don't know what plugin is required to view tv ... seems kinda weird that I need to enable a plugin to view TV on an application that is designed to view tv ... maybe it's just me being a novice, and all ... maybe it's late (again) and I should work on these things when I have 8 or more hours to play ... Anyway ... thanks for responding. I thought the list was inactive at first ... and now I see a flurry of activity. Maybe I'll catch a clue over the next couple of days :) later > On Tue, 2005-02-22 at 15:17 -0600, Lane wrote: > > Can Freevo show real-time tv?
