I ran mythtffrontend from a terminal window, and I got the following output
when I tried to watch tv:

I hope this output means something to someone,,,,  I know the tuner card
works, I can run "vlc /dev/video0" and I get a vlc window displaying the
output of the tuner card (it also works for /dev/video1).
