yes, good hint...
but i don't have a /etc/X11/xawtvrc, because i don't have xawtvrc (i guess)... 
now i put the channel-freqs (not really the freqs but the frequency-name, i 
think) into channum, and that worked (for example E2, SE13, SE17,SE10, for 
europe-west). but now mythtv shows these values on the osd when i switch 
channel, can i configure mythtv to show the name-column from the database? or 
the callsign? what's the difference between these two?
