Turning on no_root_squash does help. Looks like v4l-conf needs root priviledges to talk to the video hardware and user priviledges to talk to the X server. This sucks, generally. I wonder whether you can go around having v4l-conf suid root if you play with group ownership. Or, alternatively, v4l-conf could drop it's root priviledges after getting the information from the video hardware. Anyway, thanks a lot, I can now watch TV again. Hurray!
