OK, maybe I can help a little bit. I have a TwinhamDTV Mini Ter. It is
just a DVB-T card, and I suspect/hope (due to similarity of the name of
the card), might be the same as half of yours, or at least may be
persuaded to work in a similar fashion. I have it working under
Mandriva 2005LE as follows...
Mandriva has inserted...
bt878
bttv
nvidia-agp
in modprobe.preload, and I added...
dvb-bt8xx
dst
This gives the following dmesg output...
# dmesg|grep bttv
bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded
bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture
bttv: Bt8xx card found (0).
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:01:0a.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio:
0xe6000000
bttv0: detected: Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T [card=113], PCI subsystem ID
is 1822:0001
bttv0: using: Twinhan DST + clones [card=113,autodetected]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f7b6ff [init]
bttv0: using tuner=4
bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0"
DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0).
This causes the DVB device nodes to be created, and they work with apps
like Kaffeine, VLC, and Klear TV.
One niggle I have is that the device nodes are created with no read
permissions set, so only root can see them until I chmod them.
Further info...
