I bought the same card last week as part of a new Mythbox I'm building. 
  I spent 2 hours assembling and installing Ubuntu and then about 8 over 
the weekend trying to get the TV card working according to the same 
instructions already mentioned and those on parker1.co.uk and 
efficientpc.co.uk.

In one PC I get various 'unknown PCI type 10' (I'm paraphrasing here) 
when booting and then can only see the 'unknown device 6800' in lspci. 
In another machine with Ubuntu I get no errors on boot but the same in 
lspci.

I've tried a new kernel (2.6.21.1) to no avail.  My card is also a 
'Diversity' card (which I believe means you can plug two aerials in and 
get stronger reception signal).

I guess this is a problem that should be addressed by the linuxtv guys?

If I can help at all with logs or whatnot please let me know.

Cheers
