dtv1000t

I have installed a leadtek DTV1000T digital tv card in my home machine and
installed Mepis 3.4.3-rc1, with the 2.6.15 kernel. (I believe thar this kernel is the first to support this card natively)

It appears to be recognised on dmesg

I am trying to use xawtv to view it, but can't get it to scan for channels.

I have run scantv . Before I got the new kernel it did bugger-all. Now scantv
runs up to a point:

I have looked through some FAQs on DVB linuxtv.org, v4l etc but couldn't
find what I want.

Do I have to install some other dependency for the vbi or DVB?
