Hello David

I've had similar problems on my 'proof of concept' hardware, which were 
(mostly) resolved by looking into the compatibility modes of bttv.

I saw the following in my output from dmesg:
bttv: driver version 0.7.105 loaded
bttv: Host bridge needs ETBF enabled.
bttv: Host bridge needs VSFX enabled.

This led me to add the following to my /etc/modules.conf:
options bttv card=xx radio=yy triton1=1 vsfx=1 bttv_verbose=2 bttv_debug=1 
irq_debug=1
(where xx and yy are the right ones for your setup). The key entries are 
triton1 and vsfx, which are explained in README.quirks and Insmod.options in 
the bttv source tree.

Hope that helps (or at least gives you more to look at for the right answer).

Mike
