I have a TwinhamDTV Mini Ter. It is just a DVB-T card, and I suspect/hope (due to similarity of the name of the card), might be the same as half of yours, or at least may be persuaded to work in a similar fashion. I have it working under Mandriva 2005LE as follows... Mandriva has inserted... bt878 bttv nvidia-agp in modprobe.preload, and I added... dvb-bt8xx dst This gives the following dmesg output... # dmesg|grep bttv bttv: driver version 0.9.15 loaded bttv: using 4 buffers with 2080k (520 pages) each for capture bttv: Bt8xx card found (0). bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:01:0a.0, irq: 11, latency: 32, mmio: 0xe6000000 bttv0: detected: Twinhan VisionPlus DVB-T [card=113], PCI subsystem ID is 1822:0001 bttv0: using: Twinhan DST + clones [card=113,autodetected] bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00f7b6ff [init] bttv0: using tuner=4 bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0" DVB: registering new adapter (bttv0). This causes the DVB device nodes to be created, and they work with apps like Kaffeine, VLC, and Klear TV. One niggle I have is that the device nodes are created with no read permissions set, so only root can see them until I chmod them.
