hello, I'm a Video4LInux newbie so bear with me. I've recently bought a WinTV-GO card and have been trying to configure it under Redhat Linux 6.2. I undertstand that all the relevant drivers are part of the distribution and have done a standard install, and am using the default kernel. I load the relevant drivers as root :- modprobe bttv modprobe tuner modprobe msp3400 and having downloaded, configured and installed xawtv tried to get a tv session going. I used the scantv command to try to write a config file for xawtv but despite going through several different options scantv found no channels, and xawtv just displayed a blue screen with noisy static. I would have become very disheartened were it not for the fact that if i run up the windows and tune into a channel, i can reboot the machine, load linux and then without loading any of the above modules just call up xawtv and i get a window up with the last channel i was on in windows displayed perfectly. However i cannot get any other channels , it doesn't matter how many times i go up and down using the cursor keys i always get the same channel. Equally if i use scantv it finds lots and lots of instances of just this one channel. If i switch off the hardware and go straight into Linux i lose the ability to get up the last selected windows channel. I suspect this is a common problem but i have just not found the relevant docs, please help many thanks Phil.
