I'm running a BT878 card under mandrake 9.0 (and I had it working on
8.2).

I'm using xawtv. The one that ships with mandrake works fine. I suspect
the actual problem is with configuring it. There is a "TV cards" icon
under "Hardware" in Mandrake Control Center that lets you configure this
stuff. I assume it works, I didn't use it because it "just worked" for
me. Anyway, I'm using the following lines from /etc/modules.conf to make
it work:

alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv    pll=1 card=30 radio=1
options tuner   type=5

Which may or may not be helpful since you have a different card to me
(I'm using a LifeView FlyVideo 98 or something).

Having written all that, what exactly is the problem? :)
