Thanks Mike,

I checked when the last changes were made to either of these scripts, and I didn't
note any changes in a number of months.  Additionally, running either script
*works* as expected (ie: I don't get an error messages, even when I use verbose
mode).  And of course, I can still record what ever station is on...

Which leaves me scratching my head on what might have changed, I'm hoping it's
not something with the box -- but if I recall right, getting capture to work
was suppose to be the hard part  :}
