    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

    Seems ok

    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.
