Hi I have a blank TV window. However, when I bring up the Channel window (I am using xawtv-3.87), and click on the CBS, ABC, WTTW squares, I see (usually on a different square ??) a small thumbnail video picture (static capture though). Whenever I click on a square, the picture will change. I think I am close to having this thing work. If anyone has a glimmer of what I might try - I'm really willing. I have a WinTV-PCI board (bt878 is what it says in the logs). I am running RedHat 9.0 (this may be my problem..) with kernel 2.4.20-8smp XFree 4.3.0 Video card is ATI 8500 LE I just signed onto this list, so I will get posted replies. Thanks for your time. BobG
