Well, now that I'm awake, I realized that RH actually found the card and
loaded up the correct drivers. I can run xawtv just fine; however, I only
get a black-and-white image. I've changed the setting to NTSC and
adjusted the "color" value, but I still only get b/w. Is this a common
problem?

Thanks!

Did you change xawtv to use us-cable? Seems like I remember doing
that....

OK, it seems that I didn't have the card number set properly. After
setting that correctly in /etc/modules.conf it worked great.

Thanks for the help!
