 kernel.  I can capture video with xawtv.

is the issue.  That's basically saying that the driver doesn't do v4l1.  I've 
got the native v4l2 analog capturing code disabled in mythtv as the API still 
has... issues, and I never felt like working out some of the problems with 
it.  You can delete the 'usingv4l2 = false' at line 794 of 
NuppelVideoRecorder.cpp to try it out, but YMMV.
