Mine works fine on NTSC, and the PAL channels that are close enough to
the NTSC frequencies. Here is my ~/.xawtv:
#
# Must be one of modes listed in /etc/fb.modes
#
fullscreen = 640x480-100
# fullscreen = 768x576-75
# fullscreen = 800x600-100
# fullscreen = 1024x768-75
mixer=line
freqtab = us-cable
keypad-ntsc = on
osd = on
jpeg-quality = 75
mov-driver = avi
mov-video = mjpeg
# mov-fps = 30
mov-audio = stereo
mov-rate = 44100
[defaults]
[channel 9 KQED]
channel = 9
norm = ntsc
input = television
audio = stereo
color = 50%
bright = 50%
hue = 50%
contrast = 50%
.
.
.
Try launching xawtv with "xawtv -parallel 8 -remote -noxv" for
starters. (Also try "xawtv -parallel 8 -remote" and "xawtv -parallel
8 -noxv" as alternatives-these control whether true color and/or the
way the xawtv writes to the screen-direct through overlay, or through
the window manager.)
For your audio, make sure you have an audio cable connecting the audio
line out of the Hauppauge WinTV-GO tuner card and the Line In of your
sound card. Hit the key-pad '+' key to turn the volume all the way up.
