You should emerge the ivtv package as well.

ptune-ui.pl is most likely not working anymore due to api changes
(correct me if I am wrong). You should be using ivtv-tune from the
ivtv package in portage.

If the application does not know how to deal with mpeg streams it will
not work. Xawtv does not understand mpeg streams so it show you a
black screen.
