[Kwintv] Howto stop qtvision from autoscanning

Hi,

I've trying kwintv for some time and it never really worked for
me. Currently it hangs after this output:

qtvision: ChannelIO::findFormat(...) xawtv, flags=1
qtvision: ChannelIO::findFormat(...) io XawTV Channel Plugin can read xawtv
qtvision: ChannelIO::load(...) using format 'XawTV Channel Plugin'

and if I check the bt, I see:

Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
[Switching to Thread 1075250048 (LWP 13937)]
0xffffe410 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0xffffe410 in ?? ()
#1  0xbfffe928 in ?? ()
#2  0x00000002 in ?? ()
#3  0x005ac7bb in __lll_mutex_lock_wait () from /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0

not very informative (did compile it with --enable-debug=full).

In the output I see that it detects my bttv card although

qtvision: V4L: setDevice [BT878 video (Hauppauge (bt878)) Video4Linux(/dev/video0)] which maps to /dev/video0
qtvision: kv4lsetup execution line: kv4lsetup -q -c /dev/video0
sh: line 1: kv4lsetup: command not found
qtvision: WARNING: kwintv: kv4lsetup had some trouble.  Trying to continue anyway.

indicates a problem :-) Ok, switch to kwintv3/qtvision/plugins/video/v4l/kv4lsetup
and make/make install it manually (wasn't build/installed with the rest). Not that
it helps though, it still hangs.
After a long time a channel wizard appears, but except for 'Scanning type' options
and Cancel, there is nothing to click. Whatever I do, it hangs again and a new
Channel Wizard pops up (<2> this time). This seems to never stop.

So, is it possible to skip this auto scanning and configure it manually?
