tvtime output not shown in screenshots?

When I'm watching a TV show in tvtime (or any other TV program) and take a screenshot, the area where the TV is showing just turns blue in the picture. Is there a way to make it so the TV show actually shows up?

you'd need to use a less hardware based video output, as that will be using XVideo extentions. there the video is rendered directly to the hardware, so bypassing that actual screen in X. i'm not familiar with tvtime, cos it sucks, but i expect there's an "x11" output option or similar.

What TV application would you recommend, then? I only use tvtime because it worked without much/any configuration, which was good after the frustration with getting the card to work in the first place. :P

tvtime uses 25% of my CPU, xawtv uses 0.2% not much of a contest to me, even though tvtime is "pretty".

tvtime uses 2.6% CPU for me, and I can't even get xawtv to pick up the channels.
