The sound seems just fine, although there is one channel with no sound at all, and I'm not certain that stereo is really working. > Does finetuning in xawtv improve reception ? Finetuning, gee, what a novel idea! (duh! :-) Yes, I can get quite good reception by finetuning every channel to between -3 and -9, except for one channel that needs +25. I don't know if this is related, but the channels are all one off what I expect, e.g., channel 5 (which needs the +25) comes in as 6, channel 8 comes in as 9, etc. Is there a way to save finetuning settings? After I finetune a channel PgUp and PgDn reset my position in the channel list, which is rather inconvenient. > Which tuner model is this really?
