I don't see it loading the firmware.. did you download it from pchdtv's
site?  There's over the air and qam firmware, you can have one or both
loaded, but you need one.  Google for the pchdtv howto (The wiki
version) and you'll see the instructions on how to install it, or there
may be a readme in the tarball for the firmware that also says where to
put them, typically. /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/dvb-fe-or51132-X.fw
