[MPlayer-users] mplayer problem viewing TV: FC2, bttv

I took an old tuner card off my Windows 98 PC and installed it on my new 
Linux workstation (Fedora Core 2).  However, I cannot get it to get a signal 
from my cable input.  Tried with mplayer, and did a channel scan under 
tvtuner.

Linux DOES recognize the tuner card (see dmesg output below)..  A hardware 
probe under KDE shows:
Capture Device: "BT848 Video Capture",
Device Information : "Manufacturer: Brooktree Corporation", "Driver : bttv"

Any ideas ?
=====================================
Output from dmesg:

Linux video capture interface: v1.00
bttv: driver version 0.9.14 loaded
