I have been having much the same problem ... here is what I have found
There are in fact 3 devices on the card
a) A traditional Analogue Frame Grabber /dev/video0
b) An IVTV style Analogue MPEG Encoder /dev/video1
c) A DVB-T Capture Device /dev/dvb/adapter? .....
Each of the Analogue devices support 3 different inputs :
0 - TV (Antenna)
1 - Composite
2 - SVideo
To configure the Analogue Devices in myth-setup
Add a new capture card The system will choose to setup the /dev/video0
device and seems to take sensible defaults.
Complete any additional fields according to your requirements and "Finish"
Add a new capture card. The system will again choose the /dev/video0
device with the same defaults. Now change the card type to the "IVTV MPEG
encoder" you will get a probe failed message. Now enter the dev
address /dev/video1 and the system will now be happy with your choices.
You get to play with the various inputs such as TV Composite at stage 4 "Input
Connections"
I am at this stage currently. I can make the DVB_T device and analogue mpeg
encoder (TV input) to play nicely together but when I try and get the
composite input working (Which would probably be your goal) I am currently
having difficulties. Try making the composite the default input and do not
connect the TV and SVideo inputs to any source. I haven't tried this yet it
will be my next experiment.
