Installing a TV tuner card

[Bogdan Popescu]

Hello!
I use "Ubuntu 6.10" for several weeks (so I'm a beginner in Linux). I've managed to make all the hardware work fine except my TV tuner card. It is an "Acorp Y878" with the "BT878" chipset and "Philips" tuner.
I've tried to install "tvtime", but all I see is a blue screen with the "No signal" text on it, no matter what changes I make in the menu.
As I mentioned above, I'm a novice with "Linux" and I don't know what to do next...  I've tried posting on the forums and entering the chat room, but, besides of installing "tvtime", I got no other usefull information. So, if there's anyone who can help me, please tell me what to do.
Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention: I'm sure I have good aerial signal (CATV to be more accurate) and the card works just fine under "Windows '98".
