[mythtv-users] Xawtv works MythTV Live TV & Recording don't

After switching to CVS to solve the DST problem, I found that, while
my program listings were correct, I could no longer watch Live TV or
record.  Myth isn't seeing my TV Wonder VE.  I've cleaned CVS and
rebuilt, rebuilt the driver and kernel (2.6.11-r5), moved the card
into different PCI slots, changed my configuration in
/etc/modules.d/bttv, etc.  I've even shut everything down, rebuilt the
kernel + bttv module, booted into the kernel, and then rebuilt Myth
from CVS (after 'make clean'ing).

I have searched the list archives for any possible solution and tried
everything I've found.  I have worked and searched on this problem for
about 10 hours over the past few days.  I still have no luck.  I can't
figure out if it's just a config or something simple, but I'm not
completely new to the *nix platform and ran this box with MythTV for
about 6 months before the DST problem.

I can view TV through Xawtv with the -noxv option (no sound) and
verify sound with the alsa configuration utility.  Any suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.  If you think it's a "newb" problem,
please, instead of flaming, just point me somewhere (I've tried
google, various list archives, and every related HOWTO I can find).

Thank you,
Travis Gilbert
