This may be your problem, do a search as this has been covered extensively in fairly recent posts.
"as well as my desktop (which shows a TV Tuner as an additional input" this may be related to the webcam issue.

Ben Schuiling Oct 25, 2010 11:01 PM (in response to Basilio Alferow)Thanks for your response Basilio, I've done a search on the OnLocation forums (as well as All Forums) for issues with webcams but haven't been able to find any thread that mentions similar problems - have you a specific thread topic in mind that I missed?
Thanks,
Ben

Ben Schuiling Oct 31, 2010 9:20 PM (in response to Ben Schuiling)For people that come to find an answer for this I've discovered that by disabling my laptop webcam/tv tuner card from my Device Manager I'm able to capture hd video from my canon camera.

JerodSlay Nov 8, 2010 8:14 PM (in response to Ben Schuiling)I had the same trouble with a Canon XH-A1 HDV camera. Here is how I fixed it:
Open Adobe Premiere.
Create an HDV Project. I doesn't matter what kind (1080i60, 1080f30, etc.).
Open the "Capture" function (PCs: press F5; Mac, something like "file" "capture").
In the top right of the Capture window, click the "Settings" tab (next to "Logging").
Under the "Capture Settings" section, click "Edit"
For the "Capture Settings" menu, select "HDV".
Click "OK"
Close the capture window.
Close Adobe Premiere. (Save the project if it asks you).
Now open OnLocation.
Select the appropriate camera (i.e. a Canon camera instead of your Web cam).
Capture away.
I'm not sure if it matters that your Premiere project be the same type (1080f30 vs. 1080i60) as your camera settings.

qseep Apr 7, 2011 7:30 PM (in response to Ben Schuiling)This wasn't working for me either. I have an HV40. Sometimes it won't even recognize the camera, other times it will recognize it but won't record. I have no problem recording in Premiere.
I noticed that it defaulted to "Cyberlink Web Camera Filter" but I don't even have a web cam. It turns out this was software that was installed along with my Blu-ray drive. I uninstalled the web cam software, and now everything works! My HV40 is recognized right away, and I can record without trouble.
