[mythtv-users] Installation Help

I recently got a Video Capture card based on the Conexant 878 chipset.
Installing it on Windows XP gave me a application which would view TV
programs.

I then booted Knoppix-Myth and attempted to view TV.  All I got was a
screen which appeared to have no antenna connected.

I have loaded Slackware 10.2 on the same box, with XAWTV to attempt to
troubleshoot.  Loading BTTV with card=78 and any tuner gives the same
effect.

Where is the best place to get information on configuring this card?

Thanks
Rich
