[mythtv-users] IVTV Possible Problem?

Below is a paragraph from Jarod's Guide.

You can determine exactly what device ivtv is configured on by looking in
/var/log/dmesg. For example, you should see something like this:

# cat /var/log/dmesg |grep ivtv
ivtv: Found an iTVC16 based chip
tuner: probing ivtv i2c driver #0 i2c adapter [id=0x10005]
saa7114.c: starting probe for adapter ivtv i2c driver #0 (0x10005)
ivtv: Encoder revision: 0x02040008
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 0   <---This is the specific entry we're
interested in
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 32
ivtv: Registered v4l2 device, minor 224

 

None of the entries are in my /var/log/dmesg file.  Is this a problem? I am
confused here because I am able to capture video with cat /dev/video0 >
/tmp/test_capture.mpg and play it back with mplayer.

 

Thanks,

Tommy
