Avermedia98 and Linux?

I_redwolf writes "Recently I brought a TV card for Linux...specifically the Avermedia98 card which is supported by bttv. The thing is that bttv detects my card, which I am pleased with but I can't get any TV program to work with it. The screen just stays black: no sound, no video but my card is detected properly. So then I'm thinking "Oh yeah stupid you're using accelx". So I recompile bttv with -DNODGA; still nothing. Does anyone have any clue on how I can get the avermedia 98 card working? I went to Avermedia's Home Page and asked them for help but haven't gotten any response as of yet and its been (over) 4 days. I don't know. Any ideas, suggestions, or FAQs? "

I figured it out people. I wrote avermedia and of course they said they didn't support linux. What I did was use a different type other than avermedia 98.. I used type 6 for bttv and type 2 for my tuner driver which is Phillips NTSC. DO not use TEMIC even though it says it on the card.. I have no idea why.. Don't ask me ask them.. And I also recommend you don't buy avermedia.. It took 2 email messages before they responded and if the 2nd one wasn't a bit nasty I'm sure they wouldn't have responded. Also I would recommend you don't buy from genericperipherals.com but I haven't interacted with them and the card works. Thanks for all the help.
