I am wondering about v4l2: is it in the kernel, like v4l, or how do I implement it? I am definitely using v4l, not 2. I have put an entry into the xorg.conf to load the v4l module. Is this how I would load v4l2? Anything else I need to do?
Is v4l2 preferred? I see very little mention of it and it appears, looking at the bytesex site, to be somewhat a deviant or dead development line, or am I mistaken?

I have a TV Tuner card that runs using the BTTV module and TVTime works.
My lsmod looks like:

With this configuration, it works "out of the box".
Sorry I can't be of more help but hope it gives you some clues ..
Best,

It is bttv2 that is deviating and discontinued.
But anyhow, got any ideas why it is not possible to view a television channel with kmplayer, using tv://channelnumber, as indicated in the documentation?
My lspci and lsmod are identical to yours. I got tvtime working, too. It's just the kmplayer/kplayer/mplayer/xine/videolanclient problem with playing the tv feeds, as indicated in the documentation with tv://channelnumber.
The reason I want to do this is because I want to record what I am watching, like say... a videocassette sometimes. kmplayer has recording capabilities, using mplayer, I believe, but I have only ever gotten this to work with recording an mpg file (not very useful, since I already have the mpg file), and never TV. It worked with xawtv, but unfortunately, it created 2 files, one for video and one for audio, which was rather silly. How are you suposed to play that back? There is a program under windoze to reunite them (flaskmpg, bbpmpg and another one), but I don't wnat to resort to that. I want to use Linux tools.
I realize that there are some pvr applications, like mythtv, but they are overkill for what I want to do, I think. I rarely tape anything from tv, but just want to make clips from videos, cds, live streams from the web, etc mostly.
In fact, I did try to get mythtv recently, but ran up against the same problem with the repo timing out or no further repos to try. This problem has existed with dag and atrpms for a number of months now. I could just download the components manually, but mythtv's dependencies are a nightmare to manage by hand. Again, this seems overkill for what I need.
