The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,

which  is necessary for TwinHan cards.

in a system lockup.

If you're having an older card (blue color PCB) and card=0x71 locks up

your machine, try using 0x68, too. If that does not work, ask on the

mailing list.

If you need to sent in bug reports on the dst, please do send in a complete

log with the verbose=4 module parameter. For general usage, the default setting

of verbose=1 is ideal.





4) Multiple cards

--------------------------



If you happen to be running multiple cards, it would be advisable to load

the bttv module with the card id. This would help to solve any module loading

problems that you might face.



for example, if you happen to have a Twinhan and clones alongwith a FusionHDTV5

card



	$ modprobe bttv card=0x71 card=0x87



Here the order of the card id is important and should be the same as that of the

physical order of the cards. Here card=0x71 represents the Twinhan and clones

and card=0x87 represents Fusion HDTV5.



Some examples of card-id's



Pinnacle Sat		0x5e

Nebula Digi TV		0x68

PC HDTV			0x70

Twinhan			0x71

Fusion HDTV5		0x87



For a full list of card-id's, you can see the exported card-id's from

bttv-cards.c in linux-2.6.x/drivers/media/video/bttv.h

If you have problems with this please do ask on the mailing list.
