xawtv reads the config files /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xawtvrc and $HOME/.xawtv at startup. Settings in the personal config file will overwrite the options from the global config file. These files holds the available TV stations and a few settings like TV norm. You have to create the config file yourself, see below for details. |
