new beagleboard user

i have a beagleboard running ubuntu and i am trying to stream data from my HDPVR to my network, just to see if the beagle has the legs?

Now i have everything running but if i cat /dev/video0 > a.ts then i never get any data

Ive turned debug on (hdpvr_debug=7) and it looks like not data is coming in, is there a quick way to see the USB incoming buffers to see if there is anything?

Any ideas?
