Im no expert by any means and welcome correction by other more knowing on the board, but to my knowledge the bttv is built in to mandrake 9.0.  It was on my system anyway.  I did not have to install anything.  Of course I has the tuner card (Win TV Go) installed before the Mandrake install.  It even automatically put a xawtv icon on my desktop for me.
Worked right out of the box.
