See above, a powerdown for 20 seconds, followed by a reboot to
2.6.14.2, and tvtime works just fine.
Here is the lsmod output for this boot:

Pardon the wrapping of the last line in mid-word.
Now, the difference that I can see is that I cannot build a 2.6.15-rc2
without the nxt200x stuffs without depmod spitting out a whole menu of
squawks about dvb_stuffs.
This card apparently doesn't need the nxt2000x stuffs, so how do I go
about building a working 2.6.15-rc2 kernel without it?
.configs available on request.
