First it is important to know which tuner chip the card has. My older
BT878 based WinTV was configured during install of FC2 without any
problem. Probably your card has a different chip. Run "lspci -vv" to see
for sure. By FC2 recognized data is written to /etc/sysconfig/hwconf.
Blindly copying modprobe lines from anywhere in the net is no solution.
If you don't know the specific hardware data of your card all is trail &
error and not very intelligent. So post again with data from i.e.
"lspci" and messages from system log, i.e. grep the output of "dmesg".
