	Same motherboard here, good solid equipment in my experience.

	I've heard WinTV Go is a pretty new card, and there may have been
some trouble supporting it. 

	However, I get the impression you're using RedHat's stock kernel.
Don't do that. 

	I'm using a WinTV model 401 with plenty of success, but the
important thing to remember here is: Don't ust the kernel bttv. It's an
old hack. 

	If you're not familiar with configuring & compiling your own
kernel, please read the kernel howto. 

	Then visit http://www.strusel007.de/linux/bttv/ - aquire and
install bttv 0.7.47. You will need to patch your kernel with the new i2c
stack from the lm-sensors project before you do this. 

	It's not as hard as it sounds, but if you really want to get this
done, you'll need to do it.

	I don't think any capture card will work with that kernel for
video streaming applications. But I repeat myself.
