Thank you very much..

I'll check it out, I may also try a later version of linuxmce as they have released a few since I installed.

My card is 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a2) according to lspci (it's an AGP card of course 8x speed)
I'm thinking this card will be to old for all but purevideo.



Many thanks for your help.
I'll probably end up ditching linuxmce for something else in the end, but I think it's just a waiting game now until the dvb-t becomes stable(I mean 'out of the box' stable) for freeview NZ.

Cheers
