After setting the appropriate access controls, I can do things like: DISPLAY=my.workstation:0.0 xawtv and have a TV display on my workstation, which is another room. Great when I just need a quick view on the TV, for weather reports, news, etc. But, how do I get the sound transported to my workstation? BTW, is there a better way to do this? (remote TV viewing) I tried with vnc (tightvnc), but couldn't get a picture from xawtv (there were complaints about the "RENDER" extension missing, or the "XVideo" extension, depending onm which program I tried). Installing a TV card in my workstation isn't an option at the moment. -- Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
