Error loading bt878 module

[Cyber Source]

You want NTSC and US-CABLE. If you can't get any stations at all its 
most likely that the tuner option is not set. It is probably type 2. 
Check your logs, it's probably screaming about no tuner set. Your going 
to need a line like "options tuner type=2" in your modprobe file. Look 
in the kernel docs on the bttv module for specifics but if memory 
serves, that is exactly the line you need.
