I Fred, thanks for testing. I use 810, never mind 710. My guess is that you got that error message on 810 because the starter kit (or the appImage) doesn't like when root starts a terminal?
Back to the error I got, my guess is that it depends on my specific configuration. Try

Fred, bill or anyone,

I noticed this script in the Puppy Newsletter on how to use VLC as Personal Video Recorder for over the air TV.

http://smokey01.com/newsletters/2018/August/0020-PuppyLinuxNewsletter-August2018.html#7

Would it be easy to get this to work in Debian Dog?

The first issue is that instead of channels.conf, later versions of VLC use a *.xfpf file. Mine is called "OTA_TV.xspf". It is really just a play list of channels. I think a search and replaceof channels.conf to OTA_TV.xspf might have fixed that.

The second issue is that I can't seem to figure out how to get it to use cron and I can't figure out how to get that working or maybe anacron is something different??

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Dan
