Another FYI,

I just switched over from SuSE 10.0 to kubuntu and have my Hauppauge
WinTV card working with Tvtime.  Specifics on the card are:
Hauppaugge WinTV model 44801, rev D153, tuner model is a
LGTP18NSR13F, decoder BT878.

Basically, what happens is the card is seen as a type 10 card, but the 
tuner is 4, which does not work.  So, just do the following:

"sudo vi /etc/modprob.d/bttv" and then add the following line...
"options bttv card=10 tuner=27". (you can change the vi to you're 
favorite editor btw)  Quotes shoutd not be added.

After this, you should reboot and then fire up tvtime, or kdetv.
