I believe the tv-card was initialized correctly based on the
dmesg output (I don't have a bttv card, but if you can view
tv in tv-time it should be fine).

Ok. I'm using FC2 with the latest updated kernel. Not sure if there's any
bugs in the version shipped with FC2. I haven't had any problems with
mplayer not getting a signal on the first invocation.

This looks fine.

That is strange. I would expect tvtime to work correctly from within
freevo as much as without unless the channel list (TV_CHANNELS) was
incorrect. Are you using xmltv or did you define the channels manually?
Freevo converts channel numbers into frequencies internally before
passing it to tvtime since the channel numbering is different between
tvtime and mplayer.
One workaround you can try: before starting freevo, use v4lctl
to do something ('v4lctl list' gives the current settings, you can
even set the channel using 'v4lctl setchannel XX'; I'm not sure if you
need to define a channel list in a ~/.xawtv file first though). If this
solves your problem then you can use a script which calls the v4lctl
command first before calling freevo.
