Um, not quite. If you set your tuner up correctly in MythTV's setup 
utility, MythTV should always use what you've specified in there. Among 
the things you're supposed to specify are TV format (set it to NTSC, in 
your case) and channel frequency table (likely either us-bcast or 
us-cable, for those in the US). MythTV has no reliance on your xawtv 
settings. I never even used xawtv on my system...

mplayer works with both hardware encoder cards and vanilla tv tuner 
cards; you just have to throw it different switches.
