The bttv driver got ab bug in the new 0.9 series (kernel 2.6), it causes tv applications either to crash or you just get a black screen. Tvtime output : Running tvtime 0.9.12.

We can't do much here as this is an upstream bug with BTTV in the 2.6 kernel which we don't maitain. Can you please file a bug at http://bugme.osdl.org so that this can get fixed upstream? Thanks!
