True, and I always appreciate the help you offer :-)

I cannot tune in to any channels

Yes:
jamie@Gir ~ $ ls -lah /dev/video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jul 19 14:00 /dev/video0 -> v4l/video0
jamie@Gir ~ $ ls /dev/v4l/video0 -lah
crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Jul 19 14:00 /dev/v4l/video0
jamie@Gir ~ $
(the permissions on /dev/v4l/video0 don't look right to me and I do get an
error that /dev/video0 is not accessible when trying to run xawtv as any
user other than root)
> does xawtv -c /dev/video/video0 give any output?
I will try this later tonight when I get home.
