[mythtv-users] Various newbie questions

I have just setup mythtv on SuSE 9.3, and while I have it mostly working as 
I want, there are still some issues. 
They are probably simple things that I am overlooking, or looking in the 
wrong place in the docs, but I still cant find answers.

Anyway, the only issues I have are as follows:

1). If I am watching Live TV, and I seek backwards (reverse) to double check 
something, or to get another run of a scene etc, is there a key I can press 
to jump me back to the live feed - so I dont have to seek forwards all the 
way to the end ?
i.e, so I can skip from watching recorded data, to be watching the actual 
live show ????

2). In mythweather, is there any way to prevent it going into the satellite 
map showing the weather ? This causes really high CPU load on my system and 
takes a while before I can exit it. I would be happy to simply never see the 
satellite map.

3). How do I fine tune my channels ? Ie, I am in England, so, for example, 
BBC1 is on Channel 46. Some of the channels would benefit from finetuning, 
but short of going into mythtv-setup and adjusting the finetune manually, 
then reloading the frontend and trying my adjustments then repeating this 
whole process, I cant seem to find a better way

4). Is there is simple way of taking a screen grab from either live tv, or 
from a recording - so when watching, press a key etc ?

5). I have an nvidia vga card (and I watch the tv, and recordings on my 
monitor). On my SuSE installation, I have 2 scripts - switch2nv and 
switch2nvidia. Which of the 2 would be the best to use ?

Any input on the above is greatly appreciated.
