If you see the problem in BOTH xawtv AND mythtv, then whyever would you 
assume "the problem exists within xawtv"? The first place to check is for 
an error in something common to both apps, and that is exactly the advice 
Bruce gave you (by directing you to the FAQ).

When you say "the correct tuner card is selected," what do you mean by 
that, and how do you know it? *Card* type and *tuner* type are, in this 
context, different things, something your use of the phrase "tuner card" 
makes me think you do not realize.

Assuming the card is really a "Leadtek WinFast 2000", that is *card* type 
34 (the relevant TFM to R here is 
/usr/src/linux/DOcumentation/video4linux/bttv/CARDLIST). Offhand, I do not 
know the correct *tuner* type for this card, but you might see what bttv 
thinks it is if you modprobe bttv without specifying one.
