--------------------------
$ modprobe bttv (normally bttv is being loaded automatically by kmod)
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx (or just place dvb-bt8xx in /etc/modules for automatic loading)

3b) TwinHan and Clones
--------------------------
$ modprobe bttv i2c_hw=1 card=0x71
$ modprobe bttv card=0x71
$ modprobe dvb-bt8xx
$ modprobe dst
The value 0x71 will override the PCI type detection for dvb-bt8xx,
which is necessary for TwinHan cards.
which is necessary for TwinHan cards. Omission of this parameter might result
in a system lockup.
If you're having an older card (blue color circuit) and card=0x71 locks
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.

dst_get_device_id: Recognise [DSTMCI]
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.
