I installed MythTV earlier and it recognises my KWorld card as DVB. > 1) Do you get anything extra from having the card as a DVB instead of > v4l? Or should I not care? If you configure it as a v4l device you get the composite and svideo inputs. If you configure it as a DVB card, you get the DVB features. To use the full feature set of the card, i.e. DVB, composite, and svideo, you have to configure both a DVB card and a v4l card. > 2) Why would this be happening?

Can you tune it with something else like kaxtv/kaffeine or mplayer? I'd suggest the former as it has an easy to use interface.
