I have one of these cards, as my AIW 8500 128mb incorporates a Rage Theatre 200 that's not supported by gatos. When I modprobe bttv, I use card=78 tuner=2 gbuffers=8, and it works well for me. There are probably more efficient settings, but I haven't hacked around with it much. dmesg | grep bttv can give you alot of information, including which version of BTTV you're loading. I'm not at home, so unfortunately I can't give you the exact syntax to grep for the version. Best of luck..
