Hi

You should not have any problems with this card. I have never installed
the WinTv GO card but I do have a win theater which is similar. I run it
on RH 7.0 you should only have to insert the correct modules to get your
card working. Something like the below

alias char-major-81 videodev
 
options bttv card=10 autoload=1 radio=1 pll=1
options tuner type=5
options msp3400 once=1 simple=1 
 
pre-install bttv
post-remove bttv (/sbin/modprobe -r "tuner"; /sbin/modprobe -r
"msp3400") 

I am not sure what state your kernel is in. Before you even edit your
/etc/modules.conf
Try
> cat /proc/modules    #to see what modules you have installed
> /sbin/modprobe bttv  #to insert the bttv module, it should insert the other modules to
> cat /proc/modules    #to see what modules bttv inseted 
This should get all the required modules inserted.
run a tv application like xawtv and you should be ok.
I am not sure in the exact requirements for /etc/modules.conf though.
