I tried to get one of these newer WinTV PCI cards working
under Redhat 8.0 with a 2.4.20 kernel.
lspci lists this as unknown device (8800).
I put an old BT848 card in the system and it worked
right off.
Any clues how to get this card working?

What do you mena with "newer" ? There are a lot of different types (with
the same model number). If it is brand new, it might be based on the
Conexant CX23880/CX23881, the successor of the bt878 (at least I've read
somewhere that hauppauge will probably convert all its cards to that
chip). This chip is not supported by a linux driver. And it's impossible
to write a driver, since the datasheet is not available (not sure why,
maybe has something to do with the way the chip handles macrovision in a
digital tv stream? this is pure speculation however).
