With szap, xawtv works now. It gives the same error messages, but it 
works. Thank you very much for this tip!

It's not obvious for a beginner, that xawtv needs another program for 
tuning, because it has its own possibility to switch between channels.
But maybe the xawtv channels must be configured from scratch while szap 
takes the ready-to-use VDR channels.conf. Or is there another reason?

Proposal: Could it make sense to add a little sentence to the INSTALL 
file of the DVB driver that recommends to use xawtv and szap together? 
Most of the DVB beginners will wish to confirm that their DVB card and 
driver are working together. My idea of only using xawtv for that aim 
was not the way of minimum effort that I thought it would be ...
