Well I built the modules (ivtv) and got them installed. I never did patch my kernel though. 2.4.20. Maybe that's why I'm having tuner problems??. Setting tuner=4 in /etc/modules.conf is for no tuner. I tried tuner=2 but I got just more black screen. I want to use the tuner on the card for TV recordings. I can record off the card though using cat /dev/video0 > first_capture.mpg. What I'm recording is video w/sound. But what station or anything I have no idea. It's late here on the West Coast USA. In the morning I'll patch the kernel and have at it again. If you have any thoughts let me know.
