The above messages seem ok, but I never tried to use tvtime with xinerama. This used to be a very good application, but it is not maintained anymore. Not sure if it works fine with newer xorg versions with xinerama. Also, by default, tvtime enables channel signal detection, but several tuners don't provide it. So, you need to disable it, in order for tvtime to work. I suggest you to try mplayer instead. I'm not sure what video standard is used in Costa Rica, nor what channel frequency list. So, you may need to adjust the parameters bellow. For NTSC and 6 MHz channels, the command syntax is: mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video0:norm=PAL-M:chanlist=us-bcast tv:// > [At this point the application freezes in a black screen, nothing can > be done on the GUI] Maybe due to the lack of signal.
