Standard bttv driver includes support for AverMeida cards.
Here is my setup in /etc/conf.modules file:
# TV tuner
options bttv card=6
options tuner type=5
alias char-major-81 bttv
pre-install bttv /sbin/modprobe -k tuner
pre-install lirc_aver /sbin/modprobe -k bttv
alias char-major-61 lirc_aver
Note that the last 2 lines refer to lirc_aver,
which is a driver to support AverMedia's remote control
(and other remote control units too). I succed using it
to control xawtv and xmms, and it's possible to control
almost everything with it. You'll need to patch the bttv.c
in your kernel though, and recompile the bttv module
(follow the instructions in lirc's docs).
