Many thanks Mike. Yes. By doing that, I no longer got "failure to open
card".

On attempting to scan I did get "failure to parse parameters"  (?!?) but
now baby screaming, wife stressed that we aren't going out yet and I can't
keep looking into this so I guess it'll stay broken for the moment... oh
well, not the first time. Sometimes I understand why people just buy a PVR
;-)
