First of all, thanks for the links. I will definitely check them out soon, and
report back on Monday or Tuesday.

I am in India where we have PAL_BG. So, I think the tuner will be 5.
So far, I have tried _all_ the 120 card types with tuner=5,
and _all_ the 45 tuner types with card=78, but none worked.

I had also followed this link for this card (KWorld VS-TV878RF):

but I was not successful.

I had done 'rmmod' each time before trying a new driver. Maybe that's why it
did not work. I will try by restarting now (after modifying the
/etc/modules.d/bttv file) and will follow your links.
