We have the same TV card.  I am already using lirc and xawtv but I use it under RH 7.2 
with a custom built 2.4.18 kernel.  I had to download the orignal sources and compile 
my own kernel because the lirc package relied on the orginal sources and it will not 
compile without it. 

I think it uses i2c if I remember correctly.
