It sure did! I didn't even have to unplug the cable, I just had to
change node 0 to node 1 (which is where it shows up on my system), and
now it's working! I'll try firing this up out of /etc/rc.local, but I
don't often reboot the master backend anyway.

The only down side to this is now I have to get HD display working. I'm
close, just a tiny bit of hesitation in the playback. Lots of old
threads to go through on that one.

As far as the HD playback, I think it has to do with what type of signal they are sending, 720p vs 1080i, but I can go in to Settings, Playback, First Page and play with deinterlacing, Bob and Kernel, and extra audio buffering and depending on what station playing with those settings lets me view each one without any problems. Also upgrading to the latest version of the nVidia driver helped me greatly. Let us know how it is going.
