I can choose other systems PAL/NTSC/SECAM and I can see that the card chooses them too (because of the "snow" that is displayed) and also selecting composite works but I can't tune to any channel it seems to remain at the same frequency. I have a older WinTV by Hauppauge with a bt848 chipset 02:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt848 TV with DMA push (rev 12) (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog.

Does xawtv work?
Sorry folks, kwintv is old code and not being maintained because it's so brittle. We have started a rewrite, which is quite usable now (though incomplete). You can try your luck with it from kdenonbeta/kwintv3/, or wait for a real release sometime this year. Thanks for reporting the bugs. Hopefully you'll have much better luck with the rewrite. The developers find it to be much better already.
