Thanks Sid that gives me something to go on for that question/issue. I have three \
stations scanned but it seemed I had to prompt xawtv for each station by providing a \
frequency first. Is there a way a channels.conf can be fed to xawtv?

I'm at work now but I remember running the autogen script in the most recentcvs \
version. Perhaps a recompile would remedy the xvideo error.

Right-click on xawtv and the menu opens.... Edit --> Scan DVB should 
collect stations. Edit --> Add Station opens another window, then 
against (Digital TV) TSID/PNR, select the pull down, select a station, 
fill in the "Name" at the top, then "Apply", repeat until done and Edit 
--> Save Stations.

 From a posting I did a day or so ago to this mailing list.
===========================================================
I wonder what dmesg shows. There are different types of Winfast 2000 
cards. FWIW, I'm using a hauppaugue Nova-T Winfast 2000 XP with kernel 
2.6.12-rc4 vanilla which fully supports my card without needing patches 
and kaffeine without problems. I had the same problems with xawtv until 
yesterday. I grabbed the latest xawtv snapshot from 
http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/ and tried various configure options 
until I got it to work, but building and installing libdv so it could 
use "--enable-dv" seemed to be the answer, though I still have a problem 
with getting it to do fullscreen, it just occupies half the screen no 
matter what resolution I give it. For xawtv I use:-
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-alsa --enable-lirc --enable-zvbi 
--enable-mpeg2 --enable-dvb --enable-arts --enable-xfree-ext 
--enable-xvideo --enable-mmx --enable-dv --enable-quicktime
Hope this helps.
Regards
Sid.
