This is about the '''TwinhanDTV Ter Mini''', a Twinhan Budget PCI card, capabable of recieving only-digital TV and radio (DVB-T). It's also capabable of HDTV standard 1080i, which I haven't tested as there is no HDTV transmission in UK (whole Europe) yet. Otherwise, the card works well with Linux. |

Driver / make it work
The BT878 chip is supported by new kernel versions -- good news! :)
This is what I've done (Debian Sarge testing, kernel version 2.6.16.9). It follows the standard installation of the bttv driver for DVB as it is included in new kernels:
In kernel configuration (make menuconfig) make sure to have:
- Under Device Drivers - Multimedia Devices - Video for Linux
<M> BT 848 [*] DVB for bt878
which is equivalent to these entries in the kernel .config file:
xx xx
- Under Device Drivers - Sound - ALSA - PCI devices
<M> BT878
which is equivalent to this entry in the kernel .config file:

something else
which is equivalent to this entry in the kernel .config file:
