Talk:Bttv devices (bt848, bt878)

I have a UPT201 TV card, it is detected by bt878. But it is not so lucky, it can't be auto-detected. It also not listing on list of support listing. I'm wonder if it possible do the following to check?

 for every card type
    for every tuner type
        capture one channel's picture.

Then, I could check all the pictures, to know what is the correct card type.

Shouldn't the wiki have a pointer to a bug database? If there is one. Or maybe some address where to report bugs.

In any case, I am experiencing system freeze (hang, lockup) with this hardware:
