Exactly what Bt and MSP chips are in your card? Are you using the experimental
drivers from the XawTV 2.18 package? I couldn't get the experimental drivers
from XawTV 2.14 to work with this card, nor could I get the kernel drivers to
work, although that may have been due to no Bt878/879 support in the kernel v4l?
