Thank you for your reply.  I didn't even know what "diseqc" was but 
Googling revealed that it's a way to control satellite equipment such as 
rotors, multi-switches, or LNBs.  So OK, in my case my pcHDTV 3000 is 
attached to an OTA antenna.  I use it for receiving ATSC signals and 
have no need for any diseqc settings AFIK.  So what should be in the 
diseqc_conf table to eliminate this error?  Or should I even care?

Thanks,

Drew
