Thanks for the suggestion. It was in synaptic again (I really love this
thing !! :o), installed it.... selected correct norm (PAL) and frequency
table (France), but when I scanned the frequencies, it didn't find any
station ! :-/
So, that's now 3 TV apps that don't work in hoary, XawTV, TVtime, and
Zapping. It doesn't look like I am in a position to chose one over the
other right now, so I welcome any help to get either of these
working ! :o(

Well, no need to panic, there is still 2 months of development....
However, it would be great to have at least one good TV ap, integrated
in "Main", so that Ubuntu looks after it, and we are about garanteed to
have at least one working TV app. Rigth now, everything seems to be in
universe, so we have noone to turn to when, like for me now, nothing
works ! :-/

Where should I post, to ask for a TV app to be added to Hoary Main ??
