Using: SuSE 10.1, Hauppauge WinTVGO, kdetv + others for testing

The TV card in question will give a picture of static (snow) and will not pick up any channels when scanning with any application. The chipset is Conexant fusion 878a, which uses the bt878 driver. I pick up the card, and it is configured, as dmesg proves.

dmesg | grep bttv gives the following:
Code:
bttv: driver version 0.9.16 loaded

The current theory I'm working under is that the tuner (which is set too 4, which means "no tuner") is incorrectly set, assuming the correct number would be "39" (I believe) I would run the command:

modprobe tuner type=39

But nothing ever changes when that command is run.

Any help will be greatly appriciated, I've been neglecting several important things to get this damn thing to work XD
