Just wanted to say disregard my other messages, I decided to switch it
to a win box w/snapstream or myhtpc or something.  MythTV looked great
but linux was too much for me.
Thanks anyway

Btw, this is what the xterm shows when I run xawtv
xawtv-3.72, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.16-686)
v4l: timeout (got SIGALRM), hardware/driver problems?

Im pretty new, well im really new, so  I don't know if I compiled or
built it into the kernel to be honest I don't even know if installed it
or not
I used this guide as a base http://www.geocities.com/dlou99/mythtv.html
And no switching b/w grabdisplay and overlay didn't help.
Thanks
Anything else? Anyone?

1. Does switching between 'grabdisplay' & 'overlay' in xawtv help?
2. Did you compile Video for Linux support as a module or into the
kernel itself?
