All,
Where did you get the card and tuner options? According to the cardlist(s), card=64 is a ATI TV-Wonder VE and tuner=28 is a LG PAL_BG+FM (TPI8PSB01D). I don't think these are correct for the WinTv Go. Remove those lines from modprobe.conf and delete the duplicate alias char-major-81 line.
You are correct, I have a old ATI-all-in-wonder as my graphics card. However since everything I read about use of the card (it is a OLD model (7200 or something)) said it wasn't supported (or at least very well) as a TV capture device , I swapped a old hard disk for the Win-TV card, which seemed to be a popular choice.
I was not able to get TVtime to load at all with the ATI card installed. Only after installing the Win-TV card am I able to do things like scan for channels. I have been making a assumption that I am thefore on the new card. Possibly a poor assumption.
As to the XDMCP issues: It's possible that tvtime will not run remotely, if that is your intent. xawtv has (or had) a remote option, but at the time I tried it only video was redirected sound stayed at the host executing xawtv. Not very useful for remote TV watching.
Well that's not good news.. :-) I have a collection of old PCs that I am setting up as a little server farm. The dedicated purpose of this whole box is to support TV over xdmcp (whichever application works best)
If I can ever get the TV to work, I will let you know my results for networking the sound.
If you use a sound deamon like esd you can redirect the sound to another host on your network, although I've no idea what kind of sync you would be able to get.
