Well, from almost newbie to newbie, I would try these things: - Due to your log, a device video1 is registered. AFAIK video0 is default. Try: xawtv -c /dev/dvb/adapter0/video1 - On my system (nVidia GeForce 2 MX, nvidia 1.0.7167 kernel module) Xvideo extention is not working. xawtv is showing a blank black or blue screen (don't want to test again, xawtv freezes my whole system). Try -noxv: xawtv -noxv -c /dev/dvb/adapter0/video1 - Try another TV app, e. g. kdetv (same result on my system like xawtv: blank screen unless XV is deactivated and freezes system). - My favorite TV app: tvtime. Worked at once, nice deinterlacer routines (but cpu consuming on my old 900MHz Athlon Thunderbird). Good luck! Bernd
