I've not personally experienced this issue, but my pointer would be to look at your video capture device and permissions. Even when doing the "Watch Live TV", you're not truly watching live tv. You are, in fact, watching a recording of live tv (which is why you can pause it, rewind, etc). So, start with that.

Especially since I don't think xawtv uses the /dev/video devices for getting the input from the tv tuner card.
