2) Loading Modules
==================
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
i2c communication for us. Next you need the common dvb-bt8xx device driver
and one frontend driver.
The bttv driver will HANG YOUR SYSTEM IF YOU DO NOT SPECIFY THE CORRECT
CARD ID!
(If you don't get your card running and you suspect that the card id you're
using is wrong, have a look at "bttv-cards.c" for a list of possible card
ids.)
Pay attention to failures when you load the frontend drivers
(e.g. dmesg, /var/log/messages).
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver.
The frontends for Nebula (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV (cx24110) and
TwinHan (dst) are loaded automatically by the dvb-bt8xx device driver.
3a) Nebula / Pinnacle PCTV
--------------------------
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x68
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
For Nebula cards use the "nxt6000" frontend driver:
$ modprobe nxt6000
For Pinnacle PCTV cards use the "cx24110" frontend driver:
$ modprobe cx24110
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)
3b) TwinHan
