Well, there probably isn't a pre-defined set of channels set up for Indonesia yet, so you will have to choose the country with the closest standards to you and either auto-scan through all the frequencies to search for them (unreliable if signal strength isn't 100%), or manually set the channel frequencies yourself by manually scanning or typing in the exact frequency if you know what it is. You could try the XawTV website or mailing list for advice, or a local Indonesian user group mailing list (I'm sure you're not the first Indonesian resident to run a TV card in Linux :-) This of course assumes that your TV card is recognised and configured in Linux. Go through the MCC (Mandrake Control Centre), under Hardware is DrakxTV, which you can use to configure your hardware (although it doesn't always work, my card needed manually changes to modules.conf to get it working), which finishes with an auto-scan. You'll know the hardware is working if you get a screen and earfull of static. Once the hardware is going, then try to set up your own frequencies. Now, I find XawTV to have an awful UI, so I use Zapping instead. It's manual channel config is certainly easier. There is also KWinTV, but it's a bit old and buggy, and the replacement QTVision is not quite ready yet. Cheers! John.
