You need to define a video source for the svideo/composite input. If you're hooking it up to some type of external tuner (like a cable or sat box), then just define a video source/channel lineup for that and connect it to the whatever input you want. If your input is a 'channel-less' source, like a VCR or video game console, then you'll need to create a video source with a dummy channel containing no linup information. I did this once a long time ago; I seem to recall it required monkeying in the database, but I may be mistaken. Once you have a video source connected to your input, you should be able to switch to it in LiveTV mode, and see it in the EPG.
