Hermann, Thanks for the reply! Well I found out that the reason xvideo isn't working is due to my video drivers not working correctly with 2.6.0 (no gatos support yet). With tuner=39, the picture looks very very good. I'm pretty sure that the sound card is setup correctly (line-in enabled) becuase occasionally the flyvideo will give a buzzing sound. I am using the latest snapshot now, along with all of the kernel patches for 2.6.0-test3. I tried physically removing the card from my computer, but the tuner just says "Lifeview, NTSC version". Is there some other way I can figure out what tuner I have? (I've tried going through most of them with the saa7134 driver) Maybe video for linux is muting itself? How do I unmute with v4lctl?
