XAWTV won't work with a PVR-type card. It would work with a frame  
grabber but you wouldn't want to use that card with Myth at the same  
time as there could be contention problems etc.

Hence my suggestion to get a cheap BTTV card and use it for  
"viewing", but you could certainly call XAWTV from Myth in some way I  
guess.
