Beware. Some newer WinTV Go cards aren't bt8x8-based anymore. They use 
a newer Conexant 2388x chipset, that is NOT supported by the bttv 
driver (but is supported by the cx88 driver, but it is VERY alpha 
quality right now).

Oh yeah, and you should never have to build a bttv module for Red Hat. 
They include it in the distro, and the card should be auto-detected by 
kudzu. My guess is that you have a cx2388x-based version of the WinTV 
Go... :-\

Take a peek on the card itself. You should see either a Conexant Fusion 
878A chip, or a Conexant cx2388x chip.
