I'm trying to get my new TV tuner card working. I've installed bttv and
xawtv, but am unable to receive any sort of signal -- the best I can get is
some snow on the top 20% of the xawtv screen, with the remainder being solid
black. If I do "xawtv -hwscan", I get the following
---------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xawtv -hwscan
This is xawtv-3.70, running on Linux/i686 (2.4.17)
looking for available devices
port 58-58
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : NV10 Video Overlay
port 59-90
type : Xvideo, image scaler
name : NV05 Video Blitter
/dev/video0: OK [ -device /dev/video0 ]
type : v4l

flags: overlay capture tuner

which tells me that xawtv is seeing the tuner card correctly. Additionally
lsmod shows the following:
---------------
tuner 8356 1 (autoclean)
tvaudio 11200 0 (autoclean) (unused)
bttv 65472 0
i2c-algo-bit 7148 1 [bttv]
i2c-core 12992 0 [tuner tvaudio bttv i2c-algo-bit]
videodev 4672 2 [bttv]
---------------
which I believe are all the required kernel modules.
The tuner card is hooked up to a digital cable box (TimeWarner service) and
I've verified that a TV hooked into the same box can receive signal.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
