This looks to me like the old locale problem. Are you using a different 
charset in your LANG variable than ISO8859-1? If so, try to wrap fxtv in a 
little script. I'm using this (it also deals with xscreensaver and mutes the 
noisy line-in of my soundcard):

#!/bin/sh
mixer line 100:100
xscreensaver-command -exit
export LC_ALL="de_DE.ISO8859-1"		# The ISO8859-1 is important, normally I run
/usr/X11R6/bin/fxtv			# ISO8859-15, but fxtv doesn't like that.
mixer line 0:0
xscreensaver -no-splash
