Yes, sorry, I am mostly using 2.4.0 kernels und only test sometimes if
the DVB driver still works on 2.2.x kernels.
You are right, tuner.c in the DVB driver will only work with the new
I2C interface. It is supposed to be a replacement for the tuner.c in
the 2.4.x kernels. 
It should be possible to use Gerd Knorrīs bttv package 
(http://www.strusel007.de/linux/bttv/) with it.
