Pete .
Forgot to ask you- which version of vlc are you running? The latest version is 1.1.2 (which I was upgraded to about 1/2 hour ago).

Hi Basil ..
Well it says 1.1.1 the luggage were you updated automatically via the pacman repo or vlc or suse ..
I have had no update offered ..
Peter, I have to 'fess up - but which I didn't think I had to do, but now it seems that what you are using is not as "effective" as what I am using - and I don't mean in any shape or form to start a "war" by stating this. I am using Ubuntu - switched over to it some months ago. By using Ubuntu I am also using the gnome desktop. Until last week, my wife was still using openSUSE and the KDE4 desktop and she had nothing but hassles in recent weeks. Now that I switched her over to Ubuntu/gnome she has not had a single hassle - she is a "happy chappy" (and her cooking now reflects this :-) .) I mention this NOT to start any flame war but simply stating the situation as it applies in this household. So whatever I have said so far with respect to your problem has been from the point of view of me using Ubuntu - and I am *NOT* having the problems you appear to be having. Having stated this, are you sure that you don't have any old, and useless, files hanging around and which are affecting your current installation of vlc? As a possible indicator, in Ubuntu I have videolan.org as the source of the vlc application files - and which is why I had my vlc upgraded to 1.1.2. However, irrespective of which distro you are using I cannot understand why you are having the hassles you say you are having. Perhaps it has something to do with your local broadcasting bands which are in the process of being re-organised? One of our ABC channels here in Australia changed their name to ABC Channel 24 last week - which also affected their other channels. (Which is why I find that w-scan is the best way to produce a 'channels.conf' rather that using the list of channels in xine (dvb-utils) or even kaffeine which appear to be 'static' in that that they are produced from info supplied by the author of the s/ware whereas w-scan scans what is actually available at any time in your locale.) The other variable in all this is the fact that you are using a Hauppauge card - and I am using the German Technisat AirStar 2 DVB-T card. Is this the thing which is causing your problem? Dunno.
