LOL

I'm hoping I can have another bash at it tonight.  I was thinking about 
it, and although it requires a bit of playing around with the command 
line, it has been easier than when I tried to help a friend install 
Windows Media Center Edition.  It seems for that if you don't have a 
'compatible' tuner card or if you don't buy a pre-built PC off the 
shelf, it's a pain to get working.

Once I have the TV working, my next job will to be making up a VGA to 
Scart cable.  I've read it's possible with tweaking the X configuration 
files.
