Hi I've now got it working:
ivtv-tune --device=/dev/video0 --freqtable=europe-west -c40 I was previously not selecting either a device or channel, because I was expecting an X frontend, similar to ptune-ui.pl. I can see the advantages of not having to download and compile the perl modules. The program is a nice replacement for ptune.pl. However since there currently does not appear to be a replacement for ptune-ui.pl, perhaps the perl modules should be either available on the website or included in the distribution.
