So I consider your previous report about "Cannot find X11 screens" as 
closed. For this new bug, I can't test it as I don't have any TV card.

I checked the Debian and Zapping bug databases but no one reported the 
same bug (yet), for a version close to yours.

Hard to track down... It seems there's a preview mode and a capture 
mode, can you try both?
