Other Help Topics :: XAWTV (tv in DSL)

Does anybody know how to view Tv (TV-card=pc tv rave) in DSL? (i downloaded xawtv.tar.gz and unpacked it but i can't "make install".

i am watching "andermans veren" nederland2

this is what i did
install gnu-utils.dsl
install dsl-dpkg.dsl

apt-get update
apt-get install xawtv

scantv .xawtv
xawtv

then a could listen tv but no picture.
so i tried right click options
"grab image" that worked.
then changed "capture" from "overlay" to "off": got static picture.
then changed to "grabdisplay"

Thnx man! (it worked)

I want to save the settings of xawtv (what should i add to filetool.lst?)

i just started this tv test 1.5 hour a go!
i think i will make a dsl that contains the debian packages in /opt and a little script to install the *.deb
this may take some days to test things out.
channel settings are in /home/dsl/.xawtv

I've added to my filetool.lst:

home/dsl/.xawtv
home/dsl/.xawtv~
usr/bin/xawtv
usr/bin/xawtv-remote

Don't know if this will work (cause i am at my job right now) But i left home with a working xawtv, backup it all up, but on this PC (no TV-card) i get a BUS-error (which is probable logical, right?)

I find the automatical tuning program "wanting", it detects a lot of "empty" channels which (when fine tuned) still don't give me a TV-channel. (I have got the strongest TV-channels saved but i better get a frequenty-list to add the rest)

Is Xawtv the only TV-program for linux?
