Greetings;
I helped put our digital tv transmitter on the air tuesday evening, but
haven't yet rigged a bypass of the dish feed to my tv card, a
pcHDTV-3000.
What additional programs do I need to be able to watch this new channel
just as easily as I currently watch the old NTSC channels?
Preferably by just switching an option in tvtime.
Now I have another problem. Antenna is now hooked up, tvtime now see's the
off-air ntsc signal just fine, but not the sdtv on the next adjacent
channel. I shut it down and fired up kdetv, which promptly crashed while
in the initial configuration menu. I let X kill it, but it wasn't killed
and I still have the thing running in an un-killable state (I've tried a
dozen or more times now) with several pages of output for process #24973
according to an "lsof|grep kdetv".
I can reboot as I was going to test 2.6.20-rc1's new ieee1394 stuff today
also. but whats the procedure for killing this without a reboot?
----
killall kdetv
(assuming that the process is kdetv)
or to be really effective...
killall -9 kdetv
use signal 9 with caution but it would seem that in this case, it might
be useful.

If the process is really in an "un-killable" state, usually indicated
by status "D" in top, you won't be able to kill it without a reboot.
