       scantv  scans  a  v4l  device  for  available  TV stations and writes a
       xawtv/fbtv config file.

OPTIONS

       -n norm
              set tv  norm.   scantv will ask interactively if none is  given.

       -f table
              set  frequency  table.  scantv will ask interactively if none is
              given.

       -o outfile
              specify output file.  If none is  specified,  scantv  writes  to
              stdout.

       -c device
              specify video device file.  Default is /dev/video0.

       -C device

       -s     skip channel scan, just write norm + freqtab to the config file.

              frequency table).
