Your basic problem seems to be that scanning doesn't work, or you use the wrong list (where do you live? europe-west is for western Europe.......). Note that scanning works for me in the netherlands with choice PAL-M. But i cannot use xawtv just like you.

I had to dive into mysql, apache and some other stuff (especialy downloading a program from the internet took some effort). I scribbled down some ots, but i must admit that it was so much work that i have only the basics left. But then you do not always need mythweb set up. And even not Note that it stil does not function properly. the problem i have is that when i tune via ivtv-tune or mythtv (probably using that call) my channels get confused. so channel E10 becomes E9 - still have to find the cause. This is why i use this ivtv-manager and i also can set channels via ivtvctl. (use ivctcl --get-freq to get a working frequeny, use ivtvctl --set-freq <nr> to set the channel again. For this i even created a script (per chanel with a proper name) to make life easy: ***** #!/bin/bash #Door: Peter Volllebregt za jul 7 ivtvctl --set-freq 13589 cat /dev/video > /windows/data/mythtv/store/test.mpg & sleep 2 && mplayer /windows/data/mythtv/store/test.mpg echo '' echo 'SLUIT DIT VENSTER ALS JE KLAAR BENT MET KIJKEN' ****** About howto set it up (you asked for it!). Mythtvsetup for suse 10.1 ********** Note hat i am using the mythtv setup (rpm's) from olsen that you can find here: http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/ And i added it as an apt-rpm channel to smart: as root do: smart channel --add Olsen type=apt-rpm \ baseurl=http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/10.1-olsen components=Olsen This gives newer stuff than you have (to load the new firmware you have to rebot and switch ff your PC for at least 3p seconds).
