I have a bog standard old wintv - one thing I've found is that all the 
channel presets in xawtv are off by a bit, particularly for cable t.v. - 
presumably, ntl are transmitting at slightly non-standard locations in the 
spectrum, since the problem affects old T.V.s which have the 0-69 preset 
channel positions too.  Basically, you can use the arrow keys to fine tune.
I'd really much prefer it if they didn't bother with the presets at all, but 
let you specify a frequency.  Old versions of kwintv, for example, let you do 
this, but new ones have the ancient channel presets and fine tuning instead,
which is a step backwards if you're looking for stations that aren't exactly 
at the preset positions.
