You're in luck with this one - support is quite mature. If your kernel has
support
for the card in a module:

ls /lib/modules/kernel-version/misc

There should be bttv.o, msp3400.o and tuner.o.

If there is, simply do:

/sbin/modprobe bttv msp3400 tuner

And get a TV app (XawTV works for me).

If you haven't got the modules, try the TV app anyway, you may have support
compiled in monolithically. If the TV app doesn't work, you'll have to compile
the
modules.

Which is more involved than this email wants to get. :)
