I have a BT878 based tv card made by stb that that mdk supposts and
works just fine.  My only problem with it is mandrake has never been
able to configure it automatically.  I still have to configure the
modules.conf file manually as I found out when I did a clean install as
I indicated in a thread a few days ago.  Anyway, it works well, and no
driver download is required.  You might want to see 
http://bytesex.org/bttv/ and http://www.exploits.org/v4l/ for more info
