Thanks Stefan!

Just a few days before I was unable to find it in portage so 
I just grabbed the package and built it, saving the output 
from make install so I could remove it when this happened 
(any chance it might end up in the same place?)!

Unfortunately  I have a tuner (Leadtech WinFast 2000XP 
Expert) that uses the cx88 chipset and that driver is in 
the early stages of development so kdetv does nothing, with 
tvtime I do get the picture (sort of), no sound and unable 
to do anything with it.  Hopefully the driver will come 
along in time.  I did drop the author a message offering to 
help with it however I could.

Considered returning this card for the Asus one as I hear 
the SAA driver is further along and might work with kdetv.

Thanks for your efforts all!

Take care, V.
