Severity: normal
I use Linux kernel 2.6 which supports my TV card, but discover
doesn't detect it.
I must manually run: modprobe bttv card=42
I believe, it would be wise if the discover program loaded bttv
module automatically if the TV card is connected to the computer.
If it is impossible to check the options (card/tuner model) of connected
TV card, discover should ask the type of TV card with debconf.
Card (and tuner, which is correctly autodetected in most cases without
need to specify manually) numbers are listed in kernel documentation:
Directory /Documentation/video4linux/ , files CARDLIST.bttv and CARDLIST.tuner
you can see these files online:
http://kernel.kernelnotes.de/linux-2.6.5/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.bttv
http://kernel.kernelnotes.de/linux-2.6.5/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.tuner
Here is output of lspci

Btw, it would be nice, if saa7134 chipset based cards were autodetected too,
for pci id of these cards look at /Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134
http://kernel.kernelnotes.de/linux-2.6.5/Documentation/video4linux/CARDLIST.saa7134
Also there are more and more cards, which use cx88 chipset, for pci id of
these cards look at file /drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.c ,
struct cx88_subid cx88_subids from kernel sources tree.
http://kernel.kernelnotes.de/linux-2.6.5/drivers/media/video/cx88/cx88-cards.c
I have one more idea - it would be usefull if PCI id data would be updated
automatically if kernel sources are changed, for example new pci ids were added

Hi
I'm closing your bug report about not detecting your TV Card correctly.
The correct modules are now listed in discovers hardware database and
specifing module parameters is better done in the modutils
configuration. Doing it with discover1 would require to redisign the
hardware database format.
