DOH!!! Oops, just realized why it only detected up to channel 14..... I had
selected broadcast-usa when scanning rather than cable-usa
Know of any way to adjust the gamma? Its really dark under linux (as opposed
to win98) when you change the channel it looks okay for a second, then gets
dark....

I am somewhat concerned about the i2c-old listing
actually I would like to get XAWTV working as one of the list members has
made an interesting modification of xawtv that has... how shall I say it...
unique educational value ; - P that I'd like to try....

I do, note msp3400 is unused, it is for STEREO wincast cards, mine is the
mono version, still dunno what is doing the sound for the tuner portion, but
it does work. Drooling about getting the WinTV Digital..... probably not
supported under linux yet but... waaaaaay cool nonetheless.

a carrot, some tomatoes and a mondo beet.....
