Edit or add the configuration file .xawtv (hidden file). It is in /root or /home
For example


[global]
freqtab = us-cable
pixsize = 128 x 96
pixcols = 1
jpeg-quality = 75
mjpeg-quality = 50
keypad-ntsc = yes
osd = yes
mixer = line1
fullscreen =640x480

# [Station name]
# capture = overlay | grabdisplay | on | off
# input = Television | Composite1 | S-Video | ...
# norm = PAL | NTSC | SECAM | ...
# channel = #
# fine = # (-128..+127)
# key = keysym | modifier+keysym
# color = #
# bright = #
# hue = #
# contrast = #

[defaults]
norm = PAL-NC
input = Television
capture = overlay
contrast= 40%

[canal 1]
channel =1

[canal 2]
channel = 2

[unknown (3)]
channel = 3

[unknown (4)]
channel = 4

I seem to have found away to fix this so far,by putting this in the file:/etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-81 bttv
pre-install bttv modprobe -k tuner; modprobe -k msp3400
options bttv radio=1 card=78
options tuner type=2

I'll repost the link next,im not sure this will work for everybody but sofar it has for me.
