Harol,

you have misunderstood -- your card is NOT supported.  Your device does
not use one of the PCI bridges supported by the bttv driver .  Your card
uses the Theater 550 Pro as its PCI bridge (as well as for some other
functions; A/V decoding, MPEG2 encoding) , and there is no driver for
that IC; and, consequently, no support for your card.

As an FYI, look again at the bttv card list and you will see that the
subsystem ID for entry 63 is different from your own card (which you
will see listed above in the output of lspci you generated;
specifically:[1002:a346]).  Also take note of the pertinent information
that Stuart previously provided and which I have included above in the
quotation.
