Please try with mplayer for example: mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=SECAM:outfmt=yuy2:channels=21-F2 tv:// Customize the norm, and channel to your needs. vlc should work with a line like this: vlc v4l2:///dev/video0:width=320:height=240:standard=PAL:input=2 this for looking at the S-video input.
