Shouldn't be a problem.

The above should work but make sure that your bttv card=x option is
correct. Card number 2 is for the old Hauppage driver (bt848) and the
new driver (bt878) is card number 10. Better yet just use card=0 for
auto-detect.

I use the following:

alias char-major-81 videodev
alias char-major-81-0 bttv
pre-install bttv modprobe -k msp3400; modprobe -k tuner

Do an lsmod and you should get:

tuner 2156 1 (autoclean)
msp3400 10304 1 (autoclean)

With of course different sound card stuff. **Note: i2c is very
important**

Grab the latest easy to install rpm from:

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/powertools/6.1/i386/kwintv-0.7.4-1.i386.rpm

The msp3400 should be required for audio from the tuner card. If you
get audio without it then you must have a different revision of the card
than I.

If you continue to have problems then you should rmmod all the
applicable modules and insert them in this order:

i2c
videodev
bttv
tuner
msp3400

After that, I have no idea.... You may have to sacrifice small farm
animals.

Good Luck,
