The plot thickens.

I just tried thousands of diffrenet frequencies (at 10mhz intervals)
with that shell script, and i couldn't get one signal to work
correctly, through mplayer.

Now, here's the kicker:

If i capture the signal using cat /dev/video0 > /home/mythtv/test.mpg
, and then send it to a friend with a mpeg2 decoder, it works fine
(it's a little fuzzy), but it's 100% watchable.

now, theoritically, my card just captured a signal.  But i can't view
it in mplayer, and i can't view it in mythtv.  Is it possible that i
don't have a mpeg2 decoder? or something else has eluded me?

I've seen the light at the end of the tunnel, help me get that last 100 yards!
