Ok... I figured out why my tuner wasn't working... In my
/etc/modules.conf file I had "options tuner tuner=2" instead of "options
tuner type=2" and the tuner kernel module wasn't loading. So far, I got
it working with xawtv, but am getting ready to try this fix and the
previously mentioned one. Will let you know if it works or not...

I would assume I just overlooked something when I configured my card or
compiled the program, but I'm lost. I've got an ATI TV Wonder VE card,
says it has a BT878 chip on it, running RedHat 7.3. I've tried running
QtVision as my normal user, and as root, just to see if it was a
permissions problem with something in my /dev directory, but that
doesn't seem to be the case. I did get the card partially working with
xawtv, but the tuning part doesn't work - only using the composite video
in. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Verify that you have the "load v4l" line in your "module" section of
/etc/X11/XF86conf-4. Or XF86conf if you don't have a module section of
XF86conf-4.
I have a TV-Wonder-VE as well, and Redhat didn't set it up correctly, wehn I
was running redhat...
In your /etc/modules.conf try the following line:
options bttv card=64 tuner=17
bttv defaults to tuner=2 for TV-wonder-ve. I don't know when, if ever ATI
actually used that tuner, but they used a Phillips tuner in my system.
