ranga@ranga-desktop:~$ sudo tvtime-scanner
[sudo] password for ranga:
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/ranga/.tvtime/tvtime.xml
Scanning using TV standard PAL.
/home/ranga/.tvtime/stationlist.xml: No existing PAL station list "Custom".
Scanning from 44.00 MHz to 958.00 MHz.
ranga@ranga-desktop:~$ No signal

I also tried the updates given in that webpage,but still no luck...???

what am i supposed to do next???

You just need to search out guides for Bt878 chips for Linux.

Try:

sudo rmmod bt878; sudo rmmod bttv; sudo rmmod tuner

You can then run:

sudo modprobe bttv card=40 tuner=38

You will need to hunt around on the web to find the values you need. Yours will most likely be different.

You may want to try card=3 (as you can see from this list)

You will need to find similar lists to get the right values for tuner and card for it to work.
