You have a USB scanner? Then you must comment out the SCSI lines in your 
/etc/sane.d/epson.conf and uncomment the line with the correct path of 
your scanner USB device (here for the case that your scanner is on 
/dev/usb/scanner0):

# epson.conf
#
# here are some examples for how to configure the EPSON backend<
#
# SCSI scanner:
#scsi EPSON
#scsi EPSON
#
# Parallel port scanner:
#pio 0x278
#pio 0x378
#pio 0x3BC
#
# USB scanner - only enable this if you have an EPSON scanner. It could
#               otherwise block your non-EPSON scanner from being
#               recognized.
#           Depending on your distribution, you may need either the
#           first or the second entry.
#usb /dev/usbscanner0
usb /dev/usb/scanner0

The TV card should be no problem, SANE supports having multiple 
scanners. So xsane will start with a menu for you where you can choose 
your TV card (and "scan" an image from your video camera, TV, VCR, ...) 
or your scanner.
