make sure that you can make it work in xawtv first..

you probably have an input setting incorrect, like using us-broadcast or
pal or something..

make sure it works in xawtv first

For all you WinTV users out there...did you need to do anything special
to get the cable input to work?  I'm just getting a lot of colorful
snow.  I thought that it was perhaps my digital cable, but I'm thinking
that isn't the case.

If I plug something into the WinTV S-VHS input, I can see picture. If I
plug cable into the the WInTV coax input, I get snow. If I plug a VHS
into WinTV S-VHS input, I get picture If I plug cable into VHS then to
WinTV S-VHS input, I get picture If I plug cable into VHS then to WinTV
coax input, I get snow.

Is there something I missed with the WinTV card setup?  The S-VHS input
works fine but the coax cable input gives me snow.  Of course, if the
cable routes thru the VHS then to WinTV via S-VHS I can't change
channels.

I was thinking that it was the fact that I have digital cable, but I can
see the first 61 channels of cable thru the VHS so I _SHOULD_ be able to
get those channels, right?
