Update your tvtime to something >= 0.9.13, that will fix your problem.

I don't see an ebuild for that.

[Comment 3 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2005-02-24 00:17:56 UTC]

Please try the just-added 0.9.15 ebuild, and let us know if that fixes the problem.

It seems to work well, the errors on startup are still there though. I'll test it for a few days and let you know... Unfortunatly the only channel I want to watch while I work(cricket) has too weaker signal to pick up. :(

Thanks for getting back to us Wayne. I'll resolve this for now, but please re-open it if the crashes persist.
