- I have a WinTVGO w/FM. Works great with myth, but it uses the bttv module and the snd_bt87x module to get audio directly off the card. This is much better than using a sound card input. The page lists Iv Tv as the driver, but I thought that was only for the PVR series of cards. To clear up permissions problems with the module on Fedora, I've modified the mythbackend startup script with these three lines, before starting myth.

mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0 && chown mythtv /dev/video0 && chmod 600 /dev/video0
modprobe bttv
modprobe snd_bt87x
