14 tvtime-configure allows a user to set configuration settings for tvtime
15 without starting the application. This is useful for installation pro‐
16 grams such as debconf to let them configure tvtime without having to
17 write a parser for the configuration file. The command line options
18 are a subset of those for tvtime itself.

53 -H, --height=HEIGHT
56 Sets the height of the output window to start up at in scan‐

58 -I, --inputwidth=SAMPLING
61 V4L input scanline sampling (defaults to 720. This sets how
62 many pixels per scanline to request from the capture card. A
63 higher setting gives better quality, while a lower setting means
64 we do less work, and so tvtime will run faster. If you have a
65 slower CPU (like, less than 500Mhz or so), maybe values of
66 480 or 400 might suit you best. For best quality, choose a high
67 value like 720 or 768. Many capture cards cannot sample higher
68 than 768 pixels per scanline.

72 video4linux device to use (defaults to /dev/video0).
73 -b, --vbidevice=DEVICE
76 VBI device to use (defaults to /dev/vbi0).
77 -i, --input=INPUTNUM
80 video4linux input number (defaults to 0). Cards commonly have a
81 bunch of sources, for example, on my WinTV card, source 0 is my
82 tuner and source 1 is the composite input.

86 On startup, tvtime will tune to the given channel. Otherwise,
87 the channels from the config file will be used.
