 # to-do:
 # howto add group for created devices so that all users in that group
can use the devices?

 # notes:
 # there is less then 10% cpu load on an ASUS eeepc when watching
analog tv with xawtv, is there hardware encoding?
 # how to watch teletext?
 # no audio yet, need to find out how to channel the audio to my
primary soundcard, without lossing sync!

///////////
use tvtime from mcentral.de it runs well on my eeePC and audio is also
in sync, I tested it with NTSC, PAL-BG and SECAM.
