Great. Exactly what I was after.

mplayer even manages to v-sync at the moment, but that could break again at any
time.

Found them this afternoon actually. I am suspicious of an LNB setup issue. You
provided a clue.

Actually, this particular card has never been used. I bought it a while ago to
set up mythtv, but am only just getting around to it now. I mention this
because neither kradio nor gnomeradio can tune the radio. I mention THAT in
case it jogs someone's memory about a broken card. I do have some others I
could swap in, but without a bigger clue about the problem there are too many
other, easier, candidates for fiddling.

Aaron.
