I got a WinTV card, in my blue and white G3, and I tried installing iTV and i tried XTelevision, and neither works. I can't figure out why. Has anyone used these programs to get a WinTV or any other PCI TV tuner card to work?

I've tried on my Yikes! G4/400. to no avail. The application runs, but I just get a black screen. This is with an iXTV, aka TurboTV. I trid Beta 0.2, and it looks really slick, but there's not quite enough documentation to let me figure out if I'm doing everything right.

The iTV is supposed to work with WinTV cards. Mine doesn't seem to though. I'm trying to email with the author but I'm not getting very far. i already got rid of my real TV so I wanna get this thing working, so i have SOME tv to watch.
