Found the answer to my XAWTV no recepion but dont undestand
 

I am running RH9 kernal 2.4.20-9
I was googling and found the following info... looks like someone else ran xawtv and couldnt find any channels (even with scantv) but in the end they got it sorted... I just dont understand enough of what they were saying to figure out what I need to do

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...002/11/4/36555

anyone understand the jist of the article and can explain more simple what it is I need to do?

Thanks
Adam

Step 1. Run:

v4l-conf

Yep.. next step :)
 

[adam@localhost adam]$ v4l-conf
v4l-conf: using X11 display :0.0
dga: version 2.0
mode: 800x600, depth=24, bpp=32, bpl=3328, base=0xc0000000
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: ioctl VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: Invalid argument
/dev/video0 [v4l]: configuration done
[adam@localhost adam]$

what now?

My next step is to search with Google if I don't know what an error means.

Google hits for your error.

Someone might have more ideas, especially if you would say what tv tuner card you are attempting to configure. I had no troubles with an ATI TV Wonder VE card but I never could configure a Life View card.
