Many thanks, but I'm not even at the point that you guys were it seems, 
so I may need some more help.  I'm using Myth 0.19, and the "Input 
Connections" screen in mythtv-setup only shows the DVBInput, not the 
Composite1 or S-Video inputs:

[DVB:0] (DVBInput) -> d1.com.au

There is no "Add" button on this screen, but I tried to manually add a 
"Composite1" input (looking at the source code of the driver, that seems 
to be what it should be called) directly into the cardinput table of the 
MySQL database.  However, it still doesn't show up on this screen.

I did add "Composite1" to the "Video Sources" screen of mythtv-setup and 
added a fake channel 0 that used this input in the "Channels Editor" 
screen, but that had no effect either, and when I try to change to that 
channel nothing happens.  In the mythbackend.log file I see:

"Composite1 is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput"

Help!

TIA
