Setting VLC to tune channel 3 NTSC

I wanted knoppix 7.6 to tune channel 3 on my bt848 card on /dev/video0 but it wouldn't tune properly.

So I tried everything I could think of.

but I looked at the parameter list after clicking on advanced options and it needed a space before :v4l2-tuner-frequency=61250

61250 khz = 61.25 mhz for channel 3 which will tune my analog cable box DTA.

so this line doesn't work:

:v4l2-standard=NTSC:v4l2-tuner-frequency=61250 DOESN'T WORK

and this line does work:

:v4l2-standard=NTSC :v4l2-tuner-frequency=61250 WORKS

so you just have to manually add the space and it works.
