I try running kmplayer as root, but still the same results
Secondly I downloaded xdtv-2.4.0.tar.gz , unpack it and ./configure, make, and make install.
does not work, something wrong with v4l-conf ?
The only command that does work for me is cat /dev/video0 > test.mpg or avi Hum...let see if there are other codecs I can use?

Reason: update
If dumping video that way works, then it should be installed properly. For audio, does it have an audio input on the card or do you have to use the mic port on your sound card ?
Yes video and audio work fine, when I use cat /dev/video0

james@linux-007:~$ sudo udevinfo --path=/class/video4linux/video0 --attribute-walk
Udevinfo starts with the device specified by the devpath and then
walks up the chain of parent devices. It prints for every device
found, all possible attributes in the udev rules key format.
A rule to match, can be composed by the attributes of the device
and the attributes from one single parent device.
