I know I said I was quitting but I couldn't quite give up yet.  Ive done
some more poking around, running demsg | grep bttv produces the
following
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 00:09.0, irq: 11, latency: 64, memory:
0xcddfe000
bttv0: detected: Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 [card=34], PCI subsystem ID is
107d:660

bttv0: using: BT878(Leadtek WinFast 2000) [card=34,insmod option]
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
bttv0: i2c attach [client=Philips NTSC,ok]
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 ... ok
bttv0: PLL: switching off

however, after I run xawtv, to which I get no video, nothing, at all,
then I run demsg | grep bttv again, now I get this
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).

Does anyone have ANY idea at all what is wrong...it appears the bttv
module is loading fine, when I booted up and ran lsmod |grep bttv I got

bttv                   57600   0 
i2c-algo-bit            7052   1  [bttv]
i2c-core               12768   0  [tuner bttv i2c-algo-bit]
videodev                4576   2  [bttv]

well theres all the info I can provide, someones gotta be able to help
me, this is driving me insane.
	Thanks
