It may be that your TV card is not configured correctly. If you have a bt8xx
based card (/sbin/lspci should help you to find out), you need to specify
the correct "tuner" and "card" parameter for the "bttv" module. Depending
on your distribution you can do this in a UI (YaST on SuSE) or manually in
the modules.conf/modprobe.conf. The description of the possible values are
in the kernel sources: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.*

Hope it helps.

PS: You can easily check if the problem is with your configuration by
running a different TV application, like xawtv.
