I only see the CheckChannel failed message when I first start the 
backend.  I don't see it again unless I restart the backend.

I'm using a bttv based card somebody on the list recommend that cost all 
of $15.  Do you think this card could be the problem?  In a different 
post, somebody suggested hitting the 'C' key to check the input, and 
this fixes the problem.  It would seem I guess that the card is not 
staying on the correct input after changing the channel?

Thanks for your help.  I really appreciate it!
