Problem: When I 'cat' from /dev/video0 I always get a zero length file.
Setup: I am running Fedora Core 4. (2.6.14-1.1656_FC4) with the latest yum upgrades. I also have the Hauppauge PVR-500MCE (Philips FQ1236A MK4). I have a AMD64 3.2GHz. I have downloaded the 0.4.2 version of ivtv. Everything I have read says it should just work from this point. What tests should I do next? Any help would be appreciated.
