Thanks for the help.  I now at least have some sort of recognisable picture.
Is there any way to fine tune the picture? all i seem to get is a fuzzy, 
choppy (3-4 FPS), grayscale picture.  and still no audio even with the line 
in patched through.   I am recompiling my kernel with a more things 
modularised.  i did have bttv in both my kernel and module and that might be 
causing problems like david said.
