Thanks for the fast response. I just need a little more info.
The only video related module I was explicitly loading was bttv in my /etc/modprobe.preload. There was a line in /etc/modprobe.conf:
options bttv vbibufs=32 gbuffers=32
that I changed to:
options bttv vbibufs=32 gbuffers=32 card=15
and rebooted, but that didn't help. So I tried the following to see which bttv related modules were loaded:
[...] there's still the chance that your tuner is not supported at all; first of all you should identify the tuner model (usually labelled under the sticker)
Do you think loading the bt878 module with the card=15 option would help? Is it possible that there is sufficient compatibility between them for it to work?
card is a parameter for bttv, as you correctly pointed out
Any other possibilities you can suggest?
try asking to video4linux mailing list. some other user may have a card like yours working
