It should be doable. In fact, I think it's doable with out downloading
anything.
My suggestion is to take a look at this article:
http://www.pcquest.com/content/search/showarticle.asp?arid=27746&way=search
It's somewhat older but the process works. I have a very vanilla RHv9
install and went through the process of recompiling the kernel trying to
get the ATI drivers to work. I am still working on that problem but I
found that one of the ATI TV cards has the bt878 chip and phillips tuner
(not compatible with the ATI drivers). So I followed the instructions from
the article and was able to do insmod to install the bttv drivers and see
tv while still using the stock kernel.
It's a bit marginal but the system is a 233mhz and is intended to just
capture still images.
One of the key bits of info is that RHv9 has the bttv (v0.7)drivers in the
kernel tree. You also need to add some lines to /etc/modules.conf.

Hy,
I don't now if this problem is posted.
Sorry for this.
This is the story:
I install the Red Hat 9 with 2.4.20-8 kernel version.
I have also in an PCI slot a TV Tuner (KWorld) base
on
BT878 chip set and the tuner is Philips PAL.
I download the last version of BT driver
http://bytesex.org/bttv/bttv-0.9.11.tar.gz.
I read the following on the site :
"The RH9 kernel for example doesn't work without some
tweaks in the drivers source code because they
backported lot of stuff from 2.5.x and broke source
level compatibility with vanilla 2.4.x kernels."
Can someone help me to install the driver?
Please send me a mail to:

Thanks
Alex.
