I wonder if this could have anything to with V4L vs V4L2 interfaces
or something like that?  I have another analog tuner here (ConvertX),
and I believe that Mythtv will use only V4L (not V4L2) interfaces
to control it.  Which is a problem, since the in-kernel-staging driver
doesn't implement the old interfaces.

I have an older driver snapshot that does implement enough, and Mythtv
mostly works with it, except for LiveTV (no workie).

Great tuner, by the way -- like an HD-PVR except it also has an NTSC
tuner, but lacks the component inputs.  :)
