What kind of video card are you trying to capture video from?  Are you
using a Hauppauge PVR-150/PVR-250/PVR-350/PVR-500?  Or do you have 
some other kind of card?

The lspci -v command should show what kind of card you have:

02:07.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416)
MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
       Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 209
       Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
       Capabilities: <access denied>

02:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc iTVC16 (CX23416)
MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
       Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 150
       Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 217
       Memory at ec000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=64M]
       Capabilities: <access denied>

If you have one of the Hauppauge cards, then you will need to 
install the ivtv modules (usually, if you have the modules built,
you can just do a 'modprobe ivtv').  If you are already doing
this, then please do a 'dmesg', and cut/paste the portion of the
dmesg output between the 'START INIT IVTV' and 
'END INIT IVTV' messages.
