After I select the Tv-Box in xawtv and then use the echo "VideoDecoder: 2 =
C1" > /proc/driver/rivatv I do get the tuner to work.

Currently, I have no sound.   I have insmod tuner, tvmixer, tvaudio and no
sound via /dev/dsp or the physical output on the back of the card.

So closer ;)  But not just there yet...  My hopes is to make this thing work
with mythtv, which doesn't like the lack of /dev/dsp input.  Currenlty I
don't have a sound card in this system, and I was hoping that this card
might do something similiar to btaudio..
