Hi etheesdad, I checked out Clonezilla last night and must admit that you're right: It's unusable for a NOOB- Linux. The idea of Clonezilla was good, but the implementation failed. I'll check your recommendation tonight. Thx /Gerd

What we really need is an additional entry always at the top of the list - 'Re-scan existing frequencies' So people could do an initial scan of all frequencies then after that just re-scan the ones where channels were already found which won't change, unless you move area. That would cover all options

I bought a DVI to HDMI converter, set my resolution to 1280*720 (which is what I used previously with component) and now not only do I have a crisp and clear DVB-T picture (which I had with component) but my analog input is now crisp & clear and just as good if not better than direct input to the TV. It's unbelievable the...
