I got a slightly better failure with the following:

  # mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l
  # mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2

Instead of seg faulting, it at least pops up a window, but nothing
appears in the window.  The terminal window fills with the error:

  v4l2: ioctl dequeue buffer failed: Input/output error, idx = 0

This is the complete terminal window output:

  It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
  Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support and read DOCS/HTML/en/devices.html#xv!
  See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
