Win TV Go Card

Having trouble getting my TV card to work. I've got a Hauppage Win TV Go card, (the cheap one, not one of the PVR's), and it's worked fine in many other distributions, but when I open kdetv and do the initial setup, when it scans it finds no stations. Here's a snippet from dmesg:

[root@doctor4 ~]# dmesg | grep bttv

I've added this to my modprobe.conf:
#
# /etc/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
alias char-major-81 bttv
options bttv card=10 tuner=6

I've also tried TVTime but I get No Signal when I start it up.
Any ideas?

Re: Win TV Go Card

Never Mind. Turns out an extra sound card, that I wasn't using anyway, must have been causing the problem. Once I removed it, the TV card is working fine.
