You can choose the channel with the insmod parameter init_chan.
0=nothing, 1=PRO7, 2=N-TV

I sometimes change the used value in the Makefile, depending on what 
I am testing. Default is 0 which is the correct behavior. After all, 
if no filter is set there should be no picture. But I keep it <>0 so
that peple see something when testing the driver for the first time.

Btw., the default for "pids_off" also should be 1, which means that
all display is stopped once the filters are closed. I also only kept
this option because some seem to like to have the picture of the last
used channel on, even if the application using it is off.

In the last CVS version it has been "ported". We removed it :-)
Use tuxzap instead.

That's being worked on (after the holidays).
