Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the tip - that solves that problem.  Even so...I'm not particularly 
satisfied letting Global TV off the hook that easy.  Performance and picture is 
much better if I can play it natively.  Really, it shouldn't be too much to 
ask to have the developers of these applications test things on an ubuntu 
machine.
