If you are using the NTSC version of the Leadtek, then BTTV is definitely
autodetecting it improperly.  You can edit /etc/modules.conf with the
proper settings, but then the remote won't work, since lirc requires that
bttv autodetect the card properly.  I've hacked my Red Hat kernel to fix
this, but it's a major pain, since now I can't just use the RPM versions
of anything that install kernel modules.
