I'm using a Hauppauge WinTV PCI myself (with a bt848 chipset) and it is
not that hard to get it work.
1. Adjust your kernel
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848=m
CONFIG_I2C=m
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=m
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=m
CONFIG_I2C_PIIX4=m (depends on your MOBO)
CONFIG_SENSORS_PCF8574=m
CONFIG_SENSORS_PCF8591=m
2. Create /etc/modules.d/bttv (don't forget to update-modules
afterwards) with the following conten:
alias char-major-81 bttv
pre-install bttv modeprobe -k videodev
post-install i2c modprobe -k tuner
post-install tuner modprobe -k msp3400
options i2c scan=1
options tuner type=5
options bttv card=2 radio=1 bttv_verbose=2
3. Compile the new kernel and reboot
coldplug should not load the correct modules:
lsmod excerpt:
tuner 20260 0
tvaudio 20128 0
bttv 144464 0
video_buf 17284 1 bttv
firmware_class 7808 1 bttv
v4l2_common 4864 1 bttv
btcx_risc 3976 1 bttv
videodev 7680 1 bttv
4. Emerge packages like tvtime or xawtv to be able to watch TV
Well, all that at least worked for me.
Good luck!
