From http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help --dvb-frequency=<integer> Transponder/multiplex frequency In kHz for DVB-S or Hz for DVB-C/T From http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation:Play_HowTo/Basic_Use_0.8 To use a Hauppauge PVR card, select the PVR tab in the "Open" dialog box. Use the "Device" text input to set the device of the card you want to use. You can set the Norm of the tuner (PAL, SECAM or NTSC) by using the "Norm" Drop Down. The Frequency selector allows you to set the frequency of the tuner (in kHz), the bitrate selector to set the bitrate of the resulting encoded stream (in bit/s). The "Advanced Options button allows to set some more settings, such as the size of the encoded video (in pixels), its framerate (in frame per second), the interval between 2 key frames, etc. > I'm only pressing for technical clarity in what he needs or asked.

Again, maybe he hasn't explained very clearly what he wants, but the subsequent messages in this thread made it plain that he has a TV tuner card that receives analog input and wants to display some of that on his screen.
