-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
first of all, you can't use xawtv to watch tv, because it doesn't support mpeg streams. The new xawtv4 was supposed to do so but development has stopped a while ago. Try to do the following: Tune a station with ivtv-tune. E.g. [ivtv-tune --device=/dev/video0 --channel=25] Contact your cable provider, to get a list on which channel is a station. Then we do [cat /dev/video0 > test.mpeg] This will save the video stream in the file test.mpeg in your users home directory. Wait some seconds and than open the file with a video-player. You could give TV-Viewer a try. It's a small gui for ivtv and pvrusb2 cards but could also work with a cx18 based adapter. http://home.arcor.de/saedelaere/index_eng.html Good luck Julian TC Bui schrieb: > UPDATE: > > I got it working so that I can now scan for channels.
