tvtime does not work

[Erik Grootjans]

Hi,

I tryed it but
if i type

modprobe bt878 card=0

I get an error:

FATAL: Error insertinhg bt878 (....) .... see dmesg)
in dmesg:
bt878: Unknown parameter 'card'

I looked in the manpages, but i didnot find a option simulair to card=
What did you mean.

Thanks



Erik
