YES,  for Ubuntu 8.04 Release Candidate,  its kernel 2.6.24-16-generic lack of 
TV tuner drivers is causing HAL initialization failure or worse for my [A] rig 
E2160 with its AverTV A777 PCI card using a Zarlink MT352 DVB-T chip.  There's 
also no driver for my [C] rig Northwood P4 AverTV A800 USB module and its 
DiBcom 3000MC/P chip,  which only prevents Freeview reception but doesn't block 
installation.
Indeed,  my [C] rig gets so far as to confirm the absence of a suitable driver 
when configuring Kaffeine.
Re-installing Ubuntu 7.10 on my [A] or [C] rigs confirms the presence of 
drivers in the slightly modified 2.6.22-14-generic kernel.

As also added to Report #25931,  it will take a lot of hard work to further 
confirm,  but I'm already convinced.
The real trick will now be to get this to someone's attention for the actual 
Release process and its Updates aftermath !
