The device is there. Here's mine:

000:01:02.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc
iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 3
        Memory at f0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
        Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2

I think in your case we'd need to know:

1) Are modules loaded? (run lsmod) 

dragonfly ~ # lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
<SNIP>
msp3400                27832  0
saa7115                12440  0
tuner                  20516  0
tveeprom               11444  0
ivtv                  816996  0
i2c_algo_bit            9096  1 ivtv

agpgart                28968  4 intel_mch_agp,drm,intel_agp
dragonfly ~ #

2) Any messages in dmesg?

Currently I'm getting a bunch like this that I'd like to get rid of:

saa7115: decoder set size
saa7115: decoder disable output
saa7115: decoder enable output
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0
saa7115: decoder set picture bright=127 contrast=63 saturation=63 hue=0
saa7115: decoder set size
saa7115: decoder disable output
saa7115: decoder enable output

3) Is mythbackend running?

dragonfly ~ # ps aux | grep myth
root     16220  0.0  2.4 129344 12124 ?        S<sl May16   0:09
/usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --pidfile /var/run/mythbackend.pid
--logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --verbose quiet
root     18852  0.0  0.0   1484   472 pts/0    R+   11:07   0:00 grep myth
dragonfly ~ #

4) Is mysql running?

dragonfly ~ # ps aux | grep mysql
root     22076  0.0  0.1   2084   884 ?        Ss   May11   0:00
/bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
mysql    22111  0.0  2.2  42992 11456 ?        Sl   May11   1:45
/usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --user=mysql
--pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --skip-locking --port=3306
--socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
root     18856  0.0  0.0   1484   472 pts/0    R+   11:07   0:00 grep mysql
dragonfly ~ #

Good luck,
Mark
