Here is the .xawtv from my machine. THis should help you with the format of things...
[global] ratio = 4:3 freqtab = us-cable pixsize = 256 x 192 pixcols = 1 jpeg-quality = 75 keypad-ntsc = no keypad-partial = yes osd = yes # [Station name] # capture = overlay | grabdisplay | on | off # input = Television | Composite1 | S-Video | ... # norm = PAL | NTSC | SECAM | ... # channel = # # fine = # (-128..+127) # key = keysym | modifier+keysym # color = # # bright = # # hue = # # contrast = # [defaults] norm = ntsc input = tuner capture = over bright = 42466 [TV Guide] channel = 2 fine = +2 bright = 32768 [NBC] channel = 8 fine = +2 bright = 32768 [SciFi] channel = 59 fine = +2 bright = 41241 [Discovery] channel = 7 fine = +2 bright = 32768 I am not sure what system the Indian cable channels follow. You might need to modify xawtv's channel table. -Naren On Sun, 10 Mar 2002, Arjun Prabhu K wrote: > hi there > thanks for replying..! > > but one small problem :( > i wanted to know the internal format of the config file > > I just cant add any channels ..using the channel editor.. ie, i dont get any > ..picture..... > how do i manually tune the channels?
