The distibution consists of 

1. Bt848 PCI driver. The README file has the contact info for getting
   programming information for the Bt848 chipset.

2. grabber-meteor.cc which is a replacement for vic-2.8's grabber-meteor.c.
   This version will work with a meteor or a bt848 based cards.

3. dtv a sample application which displays captured frames directly
   on the vga's display buffer -- you will need a vga card which presents
  a linear frame buffer additionally dtv will only work with XFree86.
  dtv supports color depths of 15bits or 32bits. If you have an S3 968	
  check out dtv with a resolution of 640x480 32bits 8)

The driver has been tested on a P100 Triton chipset and a PPRO 200MHz
Natoma chipset. My Bt848 based card is the "Intel Smart Video Recorder III"
A couple of hackers have reported success with Hauppages's 
WinCast/TV which is a Bt848 based video card. WinCast/TV is cheaper
than the Intel card plus it has much better driver support in Win95.
