You just have to use the videodev, bttv and some other modules in order to make
it work.
Have a look at the bttv mini-HOWTO. It should help you. (At least, it did help
me!)
Here is how I do to initialize it and load the drivers :
/sbin/modprobe videodev
/sbin/modprobe i2c
/sbin/modprobe bttv
/sbin/modprobe tuner
Once I've done that, I just have to launch kwintv, or any other similar program
to watch TV.
