Yes, Richard, I left that out-sorry. Here is the fragment from
~/.xawtv that I use for that:
[defaults]
.
.
.
[External]
norm = ntsc
channel = 9
input = composite1
audio = stereo
color = 50%
bright = 50%
hue = 50%
contrast = 50%
for using an external VHS or DVD player or set top box with the WinTV
card.
