Thanks for the info, this does seem to have a been a problem. I've now
been able to scan for some channels and the output seems sensible (i can
see some channels i recognise and expect).

I've been trying to get xawtv (recent snapshot) to compile, but appear
to be having some trouble in getting the configure script to find the
relevant dvb stuff (it doesn't so dvb support is disabled). I'm running
gentoo linux, and i guessing it down to some discrepancy with the linux
headers - can anyone who uses gentoo and has compiled xawtv ok give me
any hints?

Cheers,

Chris.
