kdetv did not unmute the TV card correctly, which is fixed now. So my only 
guess ATM is a hardware setup problem. Can you try other programs (xawtv)?

Arts is not needed. kdetv does not use any sound system, it only uses the 
soundcard mixers to regulate volume. You need to have your TV card correctly 
connected to a sound card input for this to work.
