Ok I got a little further, but still need some help. I'm running everything as root which seems to fixed the problem of setting the video source. But when I try to watch live tv I get an the message, "Unable to initialize video" and the console says, "IVTV_IOC_GET_FB: Invalid argument" Now if I try a 'cat /dev/v4l/video0 > my.mpg' I get can view it, but there is a lot of static. Details about my system are listed below, let me know if you need any other info. Any help would be appreciated.

The problem I'm having is in the setup for Capture card. I select PVR-250/350, and type in /dev/v4l/video0, but it doesn't give me any options for default input. And if I go back and review the settings it switches it back to /dev/video. On the console I get: 2005-03-26 14:14:23.688 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video 2005-03-26 14:14:23.688 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video0 2005-03-26 14:14:23.689 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video16 2005-03-26 14:14:23.689 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video24 2005-03-26 14:14:23.689 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video32 2005-03-26 14:14:23.689 Could not stat file: /dev/v4l/video48 2005-03-26 14:14:23.708 Couldn't open /dev/video1 to probe its inputs.
