  Yes, they are similar. The problem was the I2C address, which I didn't know 
how to force at first.

  Investigating a little more, I realized the Alps TSBH1 uses the same control 
byte, and the same frequency bytes for VHS low/hi (but not UHF) as the 
Philips MK3. So now I think this card's tuner most likely is Philips MK3 
compatible, as other YMEC tuners with datasheets on the website seem to be 
(non-MK3) Philips compatibles.

  After figuring how to force the I2C address of the tuner, I got the board 
working (for TV, haven't tried radio/svideo/the_rest yet) with Linux 2.6.7 as 
a 'Prolink PixelView PlayTV pro' (card=0x25) with Philips MK3 tuner 
(tuner=43).

  Options for /etc/modules.conf (or equivalent):

options bttv card=0x25 tuner=43
options tuner force=0,0x61 ignore=0,0x60

  As I said, only tested for TV yet.

  Thanks everyone for the help and code! \,,/
