TV Driver problem

[Asheville Joe]

Hi.  I'm trying (yet again) to get my WINTV USB to work.  This time, I'm 
trying to run the Windows software under Crossover Office.  After 
installing the software and manually moving a few dll's, I've got it to 
the point where the error messages are the same as when the USB 
connection is messed up on the Windows side.  What I guess is happening 
is that the usbvision driver and possibly other modules it loads has 
control of the device.

What I want to know is how do I tell Linux not to load usbvision etc. so 
that the other software can have a go at it?  Usbvision is a pain 
anyway.  It activates the device just enough for it to put out a whole 
lot of static on the line in of my audio card.

Thanks.

Joe
