Right oh.

peter@imager:~$ uname -a
Linux imager 4.9.0-9-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u3 (2019-06-16) i686 GNU/Linux

apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade

Before trying the Hauppauge card again, I plugged a Logitech USB 
camera. On the target machine, imager, cheese gives a segfault. On my 
desktop workstation the same camera with cheese gives an image.
A seg fault strikes me as undesirable.

The target machine has a Hauppauge PVR-150 card with an old video 
camera connected to the yellow RCA by a coaxial cable.

peter@imager:~$ v4l2-ctl --list-devices
Hauppauge WinTV PVR-150 (PCI:0000:01:04.0):
        /dev/video1
        /dev/video25
        /dev/video33
        /dev/radio1
        /dev/vbi1

Failed to open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
peter@imager:~$

qv4l2 -d /dev/video1
and
qv4l2 -d /dev/video25
give black viewers.

qv4l2 -d /dev/video33
gives a viewer with low-density multi-colored snow.

qv4l2 -d /dev/vbi1
gives a horizontal ribbon with low-density multi-colored snow.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks,                Peter E.
