Can't get xawtv to run, but tvtime (FC#3) works like a charm.

Truly it seems as if my capture card is not receiving a signal. 
Everything else seems to be great: listing are fine, channels change,
etc.  Oddly I even occasionally get a picture if I run tvtime prior to
running Mythtv. The picture is only of the last station viewed with
Tvtime.
