There are numerous alternatives to it being a dead card.

Is the firmware installed?  Any errors in dmesg?

Are you interacting with /dev/video0 or /dev/video1?  You might be
trying to read the raw video device, which won't work properly in
mplayer without extra arguments.

Have you tried catting the /dev/video0 to a file and see if it is
non-zero length?

Note you should be sure the mythbackend is stopped before doing any of this.
