the tuner module is probably not loaded. i am using xawtv(have been
for a long time) these are the modules i have loaded for my wintv go:

tvmixer 3488   0  (unused)
tvaudio 9952   1
tuner   8484   1
bttv   57936   1
kcompat24   3680   0  [tvaudio bttv]
i2c-algo-bit7680   1  [bttv]
i2c-core   12440   0  [tvmixer tvaudio tuner bttv i2c-algo-bit
via686a lm80 eeprom i2c-proc i2c-isa i2c-viapro]

I load them via a script that has:
modprobe bttv card=51 tuner=2
modprobe tvaudio
modprobe tvmixer

If you're using the .deb version of xawtv, then I suggest you deinstall it
and download the latest source version. The debian package is old and
broken. Then, read the documentation and run program--if you want to run
xawtv as a normal user, the v43-conf (or whatever it's called) wants to be
installed suid root. 

The docs will tell you how to avoid the app-defaults error.

Thanks. Syrus.

Using xawtv

[Ramiel Givergis]

I installed my WinTV card properly from the kernel 2.2.4
and dmesg shows:

i2c: initialized
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv0: Brooktree Bt878 (rev 2) bus: 0, devfn: 80, irq: 9, memory:
0xffdfe000.
bttv: 1 Bt8xx card(s) found.
bttv0: Hauppauge eeprom: tuner=Philips FM1236 (2)
bttv0: audio chip: TDA9850
bttv0: model: BT878(Hauppauge new)

and when I run xawtv from xterm logged in as root or any other user
I get:

home:~# xawtv
this is xawtv-2.19
sh: v4l-conf: command not found
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
DGA: server=1.0, include=1.0
VidMode: server=0.8, include=0.8
  available video mode(s): 1024x768
The app-defaults file is not correctly installed.
Your fault (core dumped)

I did a `find / -name v43-conf` and it returned nothing
just as locate and whereis didn't return anything prior to using find
