Uwe Bugla a2f552f5ed [PATCH] fix for Documentation/dvb/bt8xx.txt?=
*   /usr/src/linux-2.6.12/Documentation/dvb/bt8xx.txt

  almost completely remade the text file with the following focuses:
  useful infos for beginners: how to load modules manually and
  automatically developers infos are reduced to a minimum as module loading
  works automatic in kernel >= 2.6.12 by loading modules bttv and dvb-bt8xx
  I completely erased the out of date TwinHan part dealing with additional
  parameters, debug parameters, and overriding autodetection Further up to
  date information about TwinHan + clones can be found in
  /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt

How to get the Nebula Electronics DigiTV, Pinnacle PCTV Sat, Twinhan DST + clones working
=========================================================================================
1) General information
======================
This class of cards has a bt878a chip as the PCI interface.
The different card drivers require the bttv driver to provide the means
to access the i2c bus and the gpio pins of the bt8xx chipset.
2) Compilation rules for Kernel >= 2.6.12
=========================================
Enable the following options:
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices"
=> "Video For Linux" => "BT848 Video For Linux"
"Device drivers" => "Multimedia devices" => "Digital Video Broadcasting Devices"
=> "DVB for Linux" "DVB Core Support" "Nebula/Pinnacle PCTV/TwinHan PCI Cards"
3) Loading Modules, described by two approaches
===============================================
In general you need to load the bttv driver, which will handle the gpio and
i2c communication for us, plus the common dvb-bt8xx device driver,
which is called the backend.
The frontends for Nebula DigiTV (nxt6000), Pinnacle PCTV Sat (cx24110),
TwinHan DST + clones (dst and dst-ca) are loaded automatically by the backend.
For further details about TwinHan DST + clones see /Documentation/dvb/ci.txt.
3a) The manual approach
-----------------------
Loading modules:
modprobe bttv
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
Unloading modules:
modprobe -r dvb-bt8xx
modprobe -r bttv
3b) The automatic approach
--------------------------
If not already done by installation, place a line either in
/etc/modules.conf or in /etc/modprobe.conf containing this text:
alias char-major-81 bttv
Then place a line in /etc/modules containing this text:
dvb-bt8xx
Reboot your system and have fun!
