Try the manpage. I think it contains a bit of a sample config file and also indicates that you have to create the file yourself. :) =snip= DESCRIPTION xawtv is a simple program for watching TV with your linux box. It uses the Athena widgets. xawtv supports the bttv driver, v4l (video4linux, included in 2.2.x) and the Xvideo extention. xawtv reads the config files /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xawtvrc and $HOME/.xawtv at startup. Settings in the personal config file will overwrite the options from the global config file. These files holds the available TV stations and a few settings like TV norm. You have to create the config file yourself, see below for details. =snip= On Mon, 7 May 2001, Joe Menola wrote: > Yes, that worked for me.
