    Same here.. says I must load bttv at a specific address.. I
    do so, but it still says that.

    I hope this project does well, Gnome desperately needs a TV app.

    Yes, I knew this problem & I am working on the solution.

    In CVS you can find a fix, what uses xawtv's v4l-conf to set-up bttv module,
    probably the final solution will be same, because I don't want to make gnometv to be a root setuid app.

    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't seem to see any
    reference to v4l-conf in the current CVS and I still seem to
    reproduce the problem.

    OK, now the fix has in fact appeared in CVS. Thanks!
