At first I had the same symptoms as you describe, until someone told me that the configuration file may not have been written to my /home directory. Every change I tried to make from the menus was dropped, nothing changed. As advised, I created a .xawtv file in my home directory with the following contents: [global] ratio = 4:3 freqtab = europe-west pixsize = 80 x 24 pixcols = 8 jpeg-quality = 75 keypad-ntsc = off keypad-partial = off osd = yes osd-position = 30 , 20 use-wm-fullscreen = no [defaults] input = S-Video norm = pal capture = over If you can't get tvtime working you might try this.
