"test_ioctl --list-inputs" shows all the inputs available (the first in 
the list is 0, then 1, etc.).  Make sure you try them all.

If that doesn't work, you might want to mention which input you're 
trying to use (tuner, S-Video, composite, etc.) and how it's hooked up 
(i.e. external receiver, cable connection, antenna connection, etc.).
