So it is a BT878 based TV card which is working out of the box with
Fedora Core 2. You do not say whether you now get a TV picture using
tvtime or xawtv. If not, did you scan for channels? "xawtv -hwscan" will
list you the card if it can be used. If not, check which modules are
loaded with "lsmod" and very important check your /etc/modprobe.conf.

The error line above is pretty clear.

A permissions problem here too.

A lot of problems causing tvtime to fail.

First check that the TV output works the direct way.
