There seems to be very few folks that tvtime does not work well for.  2 
that I've seen thus far.  For the rest of us, tvtime is miles ahead of 
xawtv.  My tv quality is MUCH better w/ tvtime, and CPU usage is way down.  
The OSD display and keybindings are awesome.  IMHO tvtime should be 
included in the distro proper, as it's a better choice for most people 
(that I've been in contact with), and xawtv should live in Extras for 
those of you that cannot use tvtime.
