The very quick & dirty way is a shell script like this: cc | while read line; do xawtv-remote vtx "$line"; done More comfortable would be putting the code from xawtv-remote into cc and add a command line option to let xawtv display stuff instead of writing it to the tty. Ah, and renaming cc would be a nice idea too, as the name clashes with the c compiler right now :-) /me has no NTSC, patches welcome (hint, hint).
