BT878-based cards ought to work OK. What exactly do you mean by "does not work"? What error messages do you get? What does xawtv do/not do when you try and use the card? What does lsmod say? Do you have something like this in /etc/modules.conf: # The BTTV module does not load the tuner module automatically, # so do that in here # (in 2.4.24) Oh yes it does! #post-install bttv insmod tuner post-remove bttv rmmod tuner # from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/video4linux/bttv/Modules.conf # i2c alias char-major-89 i2c-dev options i2c-core i2c_debug=1 options i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1 # bttv alias char-major-81 videodev alias char-major-81-0 bttv # card=37 - ProLink PixelView PlayTV Pro # tuner=1 - Philips PAL_I FI1246 options bttv card=37 tuner=1 radio=1 bttv_verbose=2 # type=1 - Philips PAL_I FI1246 options tuner type=1 debug=1 -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
