[Kwintv] Fwd: Sound without picture

[George Fragos]

I solved my problem and wanted to get back with the solution.  My particular
thanks to Dirk Ziegelmeter for some really detailed help on my problem --
stated in the Forward below.  The answer was the on board video of my new
Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M motherboard.  It laked some specific features used by
kdetv and tvtime both.  I purchased an e-GeForce FX 5200 with Nvidia chip
set and all is well.  SuSE made getting the driver from the vendor so easy I
had to check to see if was actually started.  The TV image is stunningly
better than with my last PC which had a compatible on board video chip set.

Have a great day -- George

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.
