Hmmm, after one upgrade, I had to go through and reconfigure my backend.
I'm not 100% sure I've got the same settings.  Anyone know if the VBI
setting can cause problems here?  The broadcast is NTSC, and the setting
is NTSC Closed Caption, but I'm wondering if I sould set it to None....
I'm going to give it a try....
