24 I think I tried it years ago, probably without success as the memory is
25 very dim. I think it is written camE (with the capitalised "E"). The

29 If you want something to watch tv try media-tv/tvtime, brilliant for
30 watching live tv or a vid-cam pluged into your framegrabber. (It will
31 not work with hauppauge pvr cards that do mpeg encoding in hardware)
