Most of this information comes from the v4l2-ctl command, depends a bit
on the version on the ivtv driver that you are using.

v4l2-ctl --all will give you this information.


The VIDEO_GROUPS is a list of video devices, hence the "[]"
Each VideoGroup represents a device and some of the information in each
group is not used, a bit of history.

Here is a quick explanation for a single video device.
VIDEO_GROUPS = [
    VideoGroup(vdev='/dev/video0',    # This is the video device
        vvbi = '/dev/vbi0',           # This is it's vbi device
        adev='/dev/adsp',             # Not normally used, can be None
        input_type='tuner',           # tuner, composite, etc
        input_num=0,                  # input number normally zero
        tuner_norm=CONF.tv,           # PAL, NTSC, etc
        tuner_chanlist=CONF.chanlist, # Channel list name
        desc='PVR-150 Video Group',   # Just a name for this device
        group_type='ivtv',            # Important for ivtv
        ),
]

Once this is set up correctly for you system then it should work.
