First of all, I used windows. :-/

The reasoning, I only have a 2x750P3 w/ 1G Ram here... and the laptop,
1Ghz P3... so far short of the required 2+ Ghz cpu that mungy puppy
requires!

ATSC working.  I could scan/tune all those channels, but scanning the
Digital ATSC spectrum resulted in the windows software... basically
borking without even telling me because the gui kept running but w/o any
displayed errors.  (Typical Windows behavior <-- insert trademark here.)

I'm guessing, the windows drivers or the tuner program for ATSC might
have been compiled for the 2Ghz cpu and might be faulting.  Who knows.
Basically anything could be going on here without decent error stdout to
look at.

Yea... you don't have a windows install around? :-)
