I'm having a neat problem with  FXTv.
While watching SOME channels ( freq def cableirc ) occasionally the
channel will fade to bright white then lose hold.  CHanging teh channle
back and forth will resync it.  Sometimes it loses hold instantly and
sometimes it will sync up for a while.

Brooktree driver is v1.3
fxtv is v.42

I've tried using freq.c to tweak the channel frequency up or down a couple
notches and that doesn't seem to help.   Lower channels seem to on average
hold better.

What other information wouldbe helpfull?
