xawtv and 64 bit LINUX systems...

Indeed it is available through the fedora repo! I should have looked there first. thank you very much!

I installed it but I can see I have much more work to do. I'm not sure what to do about these error messages:

[gregg@Ragnar ~]$ xawtv

Yes, that's a common error with XawTV. Try

xawtv -nodga

to disable dga and see what you get.

If your card is capable of higher resolutions than 320x240, you should try TVTime as well. TVTime is capable of a much nicer picture than XawTV, but will not work with more limited cards.
