OK you need to know the chipset. you can probably get that by running lspci (as root) in a terminal.
you will get some lines looking like this: 00:09.0 Multimedia video controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture (rev 11) 00:09.1 Multimedia controller: Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Audio Capture (rev 11) excpet yours may be different if you have a different device. Mine, as u see, is based on the bt878 chipset. A bit of googling establishes that this uses the bttv driver. You can load it with the command modprobe bttv Once it has loaded, you should find that your card is something like /dev/video0 you can access it with programs like xawtv, or tvtime. Thats only a potted summary, I can't provide a breakdown of what might go wrong at any point, have a go until you get no further and come back to us.
