WinTV 401 with RH8.0 and xawtv's a cool scene! Dig it!

Don't rely on autodetecting. It doesn't always work. If you have the
full bttv distribution (as opposed to a cut down version that comes
with some linux distros) you should look up your card in the file
CARDLIST.orig (in the bttv's installation directory), where Hauppauge
WinTV PVR is listed as card=80. If that doesn't work, try other card
types until you find one that does.
The following is an exerpt from the file "cards" (in the bttv
installation directory):
====================================================================
Hauppauge Win/TV pci
--------------------
There are many different versions of the Hauppauge cards with
different tuners (TV+Radio ...), teletext decoders.
Note that even cards with same model numbers have (depending on the
revision) different chips on it.
- Bt848 (and others but always in 2 crystal operation???)
newer cards have a Bt878
- PAL, SECAM, NTSC or tuner with or without Radio support
e.g.:
PAL:
TDA5737: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR
3-band tuners
TSA5522: 1.4 GHz I2C-bus controlled synthesizer, I2C 0xc2-0xc3
NTSC:
TDA5731: VHF, hyperband and UHF mixer/oscillator for TV and VCR
3-band tuners
TSA5518: no datasheet available on Philips site
- Philips SAA5246 or SAA5284 ( or no) Teletext decoder chip
with buffer RAM (e.g. Winbond W24257AS-35: 32Kx8 CMOS static RAM)
SAA5246 (I2C 0x22) is supported
- 256 bytes EEPROM: Microchip 24LC02B or Philips 8582E2Y
with configuration information
I2C address 0xa0 (24LC02B also responds to 0xa2-0xaf)
- 1 tuner, 1 composite and (depending on model) 1 S-VHS input
- 14052B: mux for selection of sound source
- sound decoder: TDA9800, MSP34xx (stereo cards)
====================================================================
Look in CARDLIST for a list of tuners.
