After tweaking my kernel correctly, finding out where the stations are,
and having a macrame growth removed from the antenna cable, I now have a
beaUtiful picture on every station broadcasting from Sydney to Newcastle.
Thanks to all who offered advice.
There is still no sound. Not a peep, not a crackle. It was suggested
that I might need to hack something in the source code, but it's all
Martian to me and I'm not even sure whether it'd address my problem.
What I'm wondering now is could I be doing something silly that's
preventing the sound happening, or could my sound card not be working
right? It's gotta be something embarassingly simple. I can play sound
files, but I've never actually used the line in before. There's a
little cable from the TV card to the sound card, and the speakers are
plugged in. I've plugged and replugged and cleaned the plugs. Beyond
that what else should I check?
FWIW here's what I see now:

And I've tried bumping up various mixer settings willy-nilly:

Is it time to develop a passion for foreign films with subtitles?
