Try http://bttv-v4l2.sourceforge.net. Right at the top is a link to the
howto, which should be followed EXCEPT for the step on upgrading i2c.
Once bttv2 is installed most v4l1 apps will continue working correctly
(through a built in backwards compatibility layer). RealProducer is
reported to work correctly. Most TV apps now have a v4l2 interface as
well, so there should be no problems. If you do encounter an app that
doesn't work with bttv2, you can simply "rmmod bttv2; modprobe bttv" to
swap back.
