    My "stable" and mission critical BL2 installation is 32 GB.

   No, I haven't considered it.

   If it was just for the sake of watching TV, then it would be easier to 
just switch on the little digital, portable DVD/TV unit by my right elbow. 
Which is what I do when I take a break and want to watch the news, or when my 
wife wants to watch something else when the cricket or rugby is on.  :)

   The TV tuner card was one of the things I specified when I had this 
high-end machine built (after receiving an inheritance in cash) specifically 
for experimenting with Linux distros. Its purpose is for me to experiment 
with a variety of different distros and see what I can get them to do. It is 
for learning on, for playing with, for trying things out on, and for fun.  It 
has a lot of grunt, a Gig of RAM, USB and firewire ports everywhere, even a 
matched pair of SATA hard disks, so it should be useful for a long time.

   I will continue to play with this machine (in my spare time) learning all 
the while (I hope). But now that I have found that BL is not something that 
would be able to run a TV tuner card, then it is no longer relevent to this 
list, so we should drop the subject now.

  Steven, this is my last post on TV tuner cards. Sorry for the drift 
off-topic.

Regards,
        Ron
