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.

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.
