What kind of tuner card do you have, analog (V4L/bttv) or hardware-encoder
(PVR-x50/ivtv)?  In either case, make sure your drivers have properly
loaded.  Is it possible that /dev/video0 is not the correct device for you?
Some systems default to /dev/v4l/video0.  That's about it... either your
driver isn't loaded properly, or you're trying to use the wrong device file.
