I have an AverMedia TVCapture98 with BT 878 and it is running fine; I
have the next configuration (options related to tv in these files):
File /etc/modules:
bttv
File /etc/modules.conf
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=13
options tuner type=5
post-remove bttv modprobe -r msp3400 modprobe -r tuner
You must change the card a perhaps tuner type according to your tv-card
I am running OK kwintv, xawtv and cabletv; I can't compile xawdecode (I
think is a problem of changed directories using XFree 4.01 and the
application is maked on to XFree 3.x)
I hope this could help you
