@Spirantho

I'd just like to add this:

during the summer, I took the opportunity to work from home. /ihad the works laptop set up
on my desk, next to my A1.

I spent my days working in front of the Ashes (woo!) which I watched on AmiTV !!

so OF COURSE you gotta keep going !!

@Hans, Spirantho,

Linux' BTTV doesnt cut it for me: wierd striping, or green and purple picture when
using display Grab.

PS: I watched the Ashes on a 'borrowed' Portable TV aerial of the 'rabbit ears' twin telescopic type.
nothing more, but I would like to try it on the House Aerial...

it helps if one knows the channel number (of the 21-69 variety for PAL users!)
that is required for your desired station,
and entering that as a parameter to AmiTV, rather than surfing...

I use a WinTV BT878 card; either the Go or Express, cant remember, the box isnt to hand!

Strange. I'm using a BT878 based WinTV card as well and I have no problems. Maybe your bttv setup is configured to use the wrong channel spacing/TV standard. Even if your card if PAL only, the BT878 can still be set to decode in NTSC mode. I can remember having to set the TV standard and channel spacing before things worked properly.
