I suggest you post the output of dmesg including everything from the
line with "ivtv: Start initialization" to the line with "ivtv: End
initialization". That should point to any problems in ivtv driver
initialisation.

Update...

Well tried to build a custom 2.6.23.2 kernel.. Failed miserably due to the
fact I couldnt get my NAT to work. If anyone knows where I could possibly
get a 2.6.20+ Kernel version. Currently I am using 2.6.18-128.1.6 RPM from
CentOS 5.3. I have installed ivtv-0.10.6 w/o issue. Driver seems to work.

Here is the debug I get from dmesg.

I have ran the debug of cat /dev/video0 > /tmp/test.mpg and found it wasnt
producing anything.

I have ran the config tools and set it to tuner0 and chanel 53. When I ran
the config on mythtv it said it found all of the channels and the signal was
at 98%.. So Im confused.. Any ideas?
