i have an athlon 1GHz, 256MB RAM, emu10k w/alsa.  also a GeForce2 (with 
the latest nvidia driver).  live tv (and everything else) works great. 
 every now and then there are strange pauses in livetv, but i with kde 
running there is a _ton_ of wasted memory, so i think thats my only 
problem right now, drop kde and/or add more memory.

do you perhaps not have xv capabilities setup?  if you run xvinfo in a 
terminal, what do you see?  and what is the cpu utilization like when 
you're watching live?  i see about 10% usage.

cheers,
