Damn, I reached up to click on the tab where it was and hit too close to 
the closetab button.  Now the only one I can see with a google search is 
Gerd Knorrs patch at http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/8/123, and that whole 
page Just Works(TM).  Sorry.

This is related to making my pcHDTV-3000 work with an ATSC signal.  It 
works fine with an analog NTSC, but I turned on the digital on ch6 
tuesday evening and would like to be able to monitor it here at home.
