Works for me. I do "modprobe bttv card=35 tuner=37" to load the module. The numbers depend on your specific card. The easiest place I know to find the numbers for you is the bttv driver source in the kernel tree (bttv-cards.c). Note that you may have different input sources available from your card (e.g. "S-Video", "Composite", "Television"). You have to tell xine to read the proper input. I don't know xine so I can't help there. I really recommend media-tv/tvtime for watching TV. It both looks better than xawtv, and is much more stable for me.
