Yeah, I'm using ivtv 0.3.3k, and removed the stock kernel
tuner,tveeprom,msp* modules so only the ivtv modules were used.

If I set the input to composite, and hook it up to my DVD player it
works fine. Its just when I change the input to the tuner (ivtvctl -p 6)
I get just static. No matter which channel I try to tune it to, or which
frequency table I try to use.

I also originally tried the 2.6.8 kernel and ivtv 0.2.0rc3j, both gave
the same results.

As well I tried the suggestions of some other folks, like setting
cardtype=1, or trying different tuner types, none seemed to make a
difference, even though I specified the options on the command line
using modprobe.

So the card itself does work with composite input at least, so I assume
it is just a tuner issue? 

Its weird that other people with same model/revision of card that I have
report success, although most state they had to use some type of options
like cardtype/tuner before it did.
