If it is a philips chipset it most likely will use the bttv module. What 
do you have currently in your modules file? (don't know exact 
name/location of modules file in ubuntu). If your system doesn't 
recognize the card, mythtv wont either. If you have the kernel docs on 
your system, there is some pretty good info on what options to use with 
what chipsets, etc.. You should send the output of  lspci to the list 
and I will dig a little for ya.
