How do you have bttv loaded automaticaly, along with : Initializing : storage network audio other Or whateveri it says durring boot.
I have a similar card, and currently load the bttv driver in rc.local along with the nvidia module, but looking through the rc files it looks like there is another way to do this.
I can't remember how I did it in RH9 or FC2, and lost the /etc

Hello
Recently I added a bt878 TV Tuner Card with FM radio to my pc. I run
FC3.
I downloaded and installed Gnome Radio but it does not work (I get
ther error cannot create /dev/radio) When I check the Hardware
Browser, the card has been recognised and seems to be working fine.
Help required :
1) Which application should I use to watch TV and capture ?
Fedora Code 3 comes with 'tvtime'.
2) Which applciation should I use to listen to FM radio and record ?
Gnomeradio will work just fine. I use the gkrellm radio plugin.
3) Are any other drivers required ?
You need to load the correct module (driver). In your case it is called 'bttv'. Put the following in your /etc/modprobe.conf and then run 'depmod -ae'
alias char-major-81 bttv options bttv card=56 tuner=1 pll=1 radio=1
NOTE: I have a FlyVideo 98FM (card=56) with PAL-I (tuner=1). You will need to change to suit your card. http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut/Kernel-2.6.6/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv http://www.ibiblio.org/peanut/Kernel-2.6.6/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner
Load the module with 'modprobe bttv' and you are off.

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
