For installing "XawTV", if you use an installed/LiveCD Ubuntu, run "sudo apt-get install xawtv" to get the "XawTV" app installed. Then, $ xawtv -c /dev/video0 & (for channel-1) $ xawtv -c /dev/video1 & (for channel-2) $ xawtv -c /dev/video2 & (for channel-3) $ xawtv -c /dev/video3 & (for channel-4) If card=default doesn't work, you may try run "modprobe -r saa7134_alsa", "modprobe -r saa7134", and "modprobe saa7134 card=73,73,73,73" or card=others to reload the saa7134 driver. Then, run "XawTV" and till find a proper card number for your card. Cood luck! Charlie X.

It is seen by the kernel and detected as a generic SAA7134-based card. However, when I hook up video to the card and attempt to view it in VLC, I don't see the video. Instead I see a number of alternating dark grey and white lines, and the image flickers. There's no change in the image if I disconnect the video source from one of the inputs and connect it to another (there are four in total) input). Suggestions? Should I expect to get video if the card is detected as "generic", rather than a specific manufacturer / model?
