    You need to load the drivers, especially the one for your video card,
    probably the bttv module. You probably need to tell it which card and
    tuner you have. Install the kernel-doc-$(uname -r) package and read the
    included files in video4linux/bttv. There is also some documentation
    available online:

    best regards
