[Kwintv] Sound without picture

[George Fragos]

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.

The console output follows:
