Glad it worked.  Now the problem is that you only have 1 card.  The
card can do both ATSC and NTSC, but not at the same time (and I think
you have to load different drivers to change function).  Your best
'bet' is to just get another tuner card.  When you only have 1 tuner
card (or 1 tuner card defined) there aren't any other sources to take
you to, nor can it tune analog channels (when in ATSC mode) so it will
drop you back to your digital station, unless you pick another digital
station.
