I upgraded to the newest nvidia drivers, 6106, and now for live tv i get a 
black screen for about 10 seconds and it goes back to the tv menu. I also 
tried the older 'stable' ones, 46??, and it wouldn't install for a 2.6 
kernel. I also tried a differient card, GeForce 4 4200, and it too yeilded a 
black screen, but this time in both 'nv' and 'nvidia' drivers.

I also checked and verified that my current card was using XVideo.
I think it just might be too old, it's a 32MB Riva TNT2
