Thanks Peter,

That allowed me to tune in properly. I was confused by the name "Frequency 
ID", the ID portion
especially!

I still cannot change channels like you with the channel up/down. Can 
anyone help
here, is it a specific BT878 issue, setup etc.

I also can use test_ioctl to change cannels and xawtv and mplayer work 
fine stand-alone.

Hope someone can help, my live TV is great now (60% cpu interlaced on a 
1.4G Duron).
Just wish I could watch another channel.

Also, selcting a channel from the EPG doesn't work either.

Cheers,
Bernie.
