Yes, frustrating when nobody replies, yet many people can generate a lot 
of crud on a seemingly simple topic such as whether to run GUI on a 
standalone BE.

With the Nokia, I am assuming its a bug, caused by what I am unsure.  I 
think because its not an iPhone or an Android, nobody seems to care 
anymore that there are other devices out there (although, as I dont own 
either of these phones, have not tested on them)

Not had any tuner related issues with 0.24, until recently that is, but 
I think that is more a kernel / startup timing issue.  My AverMedia 
Super 007, was unable to tune channels at random.  Adding a 20 sec delay 
to mythtv-backend startup script fixed that issue.  (Although MythTV 
developers strongly deny that it could be caused by MythTV itself).  
This problem only started about two weeks ago, possibly after a kernel 
upgrade.

Although, I have no knowledge of your KWorld Tuner, what issues where 
you having with it?
What version of 0.24 are you running?

Michael
