I think my tv module is loaded see, this is my lsmod output. I am not
sure about the /dev filesystem. I think it is the new because I am
using red hat 7.3. Would you let me know where I might look. The
mythtv is using the correct device /dev/video0 becuase when it
starts up it probes it and finds there is a Television, Composite1,
and S-Video inputs on my card. That is given by the output of mythtv
which is below the lsmod output. Please help!!!

Isaac said something bout this...wish I had some time..I would write a patch. But then of course..your hardware would need to support this as well, but most do. I would check your documentation about the /dev file system to see what you could do or maybe someone smarter than me has some clues?
