I wasn't doing anything special, just setting the appropriate tuner and
video (Temic / NTSC) using kernel variables.  I may be misleading you on
the stereo bit, thinking back I only used channel 3 and routed the sound
out from the DVD player directly to line-in on my old sound card.

Assuming my update to -C gives me sound once again, I may run a cable feed
to my machine and test this (can't do FM anymore, I'm setup in my basement
now, and I don't have an FM antenna that works down here).
