looking for a frontend for recording analog tv

I have an analog card:

05:01.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11)
05:01.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11)

I can watch tv with tvtime, but i would like to record as well. I tried Mythtv, but I couldn't set it up (couldn't scan/find channels). Actually I don't need mythtv, but I couldn't find anything for recording (with my card) in Gnome. If you have any suggestion please let me know.

Re: looking for a frontend for recording analog tv

did you try guvcview or xawtv, i'm not sure they have the capture-functionality you're seeking but they're worth checking out in my opinion.

Well, guvcview not really good at least for me, but xawtw seems to be fine however I have to dig into it how to configure properly, since I haven't been able to record with it but I will try. Thanks.
