That's it - i prefer 800x600@100Hz (i can see 75Hz flickering ;-)

AFAIK it has nothing to do with the bttv/dvb driver or v4l in general.
xawtv simply uses the grabimage() function to copy the video-frame into some 
memory and let the xv-scaling function scale it into graphics-card memory.
It could be implemented into kvdr - i just don't have the time to do it 
myself.

BTW - for me xawtv does'nt do xv at all :-((
