I'd been happily running my WinTV card in a 32 bit Athalon XP with
SuSE 10.0.  I purchased a Sempron 64 system and moved my WinTV to it.
I installed SuSE 10.0, 64 bit this time.  I configured the TV card in
YaST just like before.  I can scan for channels and find all I did
before but they are sound only -- black screen.  Suggestions please.

Starting KDETV 0.8.7 from the console I get the following GUI pop up:
KDETV -- Video Plugin Error
Unable to grab video.
Video display is not possible with the current plug in configuration.
Try playing with the configurations options of the V4L2 plug in.
