Have you tried manually modprobing the cx88-dvb driver? If so, did it
fail or give any useful output? I'm sure I saw mention of V-stream in
the source for the driver a while back.

As you are manually compiling your kernel, I might suggest getting a
recent v4l patch from here http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/cx88.html and
see if it helps at all. I would hope that the driver realised there
was no tuner and just gave access to the composite input.

Hopefully another user may have better and more concrete advice for you!

Cheers,
