Re: tvtuner problems

As well as tvtime I have tried xawtv & zapping. Both the last 2 scramble
the screen and lock up the kbd requiring a reboot




do you tell them which device to use? IIRC xawtv tries to
use /dev/video0 by default, whereas your device is /dev/v4l/video0, try
telling it to use the right device. (From the man page:

"  -c, -device device
              set  video4linux device (default is /dev/video0). "


That reminds me xawtv used to lock my system up. Try adding -remote or 
-fb options when starting xawtv.
