Hey John,

I ran into this problem last week. It appears that this compile problem is 
due to interface changes in the i2c subsystem between the version that the 
current pcHDTV drivers were written for and version 2.8.4 which is used by 
the 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl_37.rhfc1.at kernel. See 
http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/ for more info.

I tried editing bttv-if.c so that it looked like the bttv-if.c included 
with the ATRpms kernel. My changes also matched the patches at the link 
above. At that point the drivers compiled fine, but when I installed them 
and tried to run dtvsignal or getatsc, the programs would segfault and 
hang. I don't know if the problem was with my changes or if there was some 
other problem with the combination of those drivers and that kernel.

I ended up just using Fedora'a 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl kernel. The drivers 
compiled and have been working fine.
