As a final note, I consider it a good sign that you now have progression of your error messages. In other words, since you didn't get any errors from the TV card itself, that's probably working. The process has moved forward to the point that it's trying to feed the TV input to the video card for display, which strongly suggests that the TV card is now ok, even though the process of displaying that input is still failing.
yep, but remember that error was from tvtime which requires a LOT more than xawtv in terms of graphics abilities. thats why suggested trying xawtv again, disabling overlay. perhaps if you are in linux Holly you could do a man xawtv and spell out the option to Tony :-)
I would (really, I would; I do stuff like that), but 1) I don't have xawtv installed; 2) I'm not going to install it under SuSE, and I'm going to be in SuSE for another week at least (testing the new ATI drivers, and it has occurred to me that I might just as well wait for 2005.0 before reinstalling Gentoo, though if it's going to take much longer than that week, I'll go mad); and 3) I don't even have the Gatos TV-in drivers for my card installed (because I just heard about them a couple of days ago, and I'm not sure I want to install them under SuSE before the new ATI drivers come out).
But I can do this:

Hope that will be helpful :-) .
