Description: A TV and FM radio PCI card. Uses the BT-878 chipset. Debian did not correctly auto-detect card type, so a new file called bttv was added to /etc/modprobe.d with the contents:

options bttv card=78

I used TVtime to drive the TV tuner. I had to fine tune every channel (up) to get good reception. Might not be an issue with other users. Radio works as expected. Card was inexpensive and it works well.
