[pvrusb2] hvr-1950 - analog side - problems using scantv

[Mike Isely]

Remember that xawtv3 does not work with capture devices that emit mpeg 
video.  Remember also that xawtv4 must be compiled to include mpeg 
support for it to have any chance at video capture.  These details have 
been documented all along here:

The xawtv app is really old and I'm not even sure if anyone is 
maintaining it any longer.  You might want to consider TV-Viewer as an 
alternative for the analog side:
