I finally figured it out.  First, scantv -o .xawtv was what was needed 
to actually save the channel listing.  The man pages mention that 
scantv defaults to stdout, whatever that's supposed to mean.

And second, I needed to invoke xawtv like this...

xawtv -c /dev/video0

This is one where the man page for it was a hindrance this whole time, 
as the instructions said that xawtv defaults to /dev/video0.

Now to figure out streamer, so I can archive to a vcd the premier 
episode of Father of the Pride as well as my Mysterious Cities of Gold 
collection and a few other tapes before they degrade any further...  :D
