Hmmm I'm going to sound really dumb here,.. but where do you specify
your tuner type? (I've no clue what the tv wonder uses) And... where do
I use bttv? 
To be honest I bought the card, slapped it in and Mandrake said hey
there is a new card and I started up xawtv and it scanned for channels
and I was up and working... of course all the channels were off by 1 and
fuzzy so I messed around with it till I figured out it was +111 off in
the fine tuning. So I've been adjusting it like that since I bought it a
year ago. I've used (here in Ohio) Time Warner and now Wide Open West
cable.
I have never messed with Bttv... although from your response it seems I 
should have. 
I guess I need to read the man page on bttv then.

Thanks, 
Jeff
