For anyone still paying attention. I was using the HVR-2250 but realized 
I could not simultaneously use the digital and analog portions of that 
particular tuner.

I picked-up a KWorld-2800 USB device on eBay and am attempting to use 
that based on what I read here:

At first I could not get any output from this unit. Now I've specified 
"card=8" when modprobe is called and it appears I can capture video.

However, when using zvbi2raw or ccextractor I am not getting any output. 
I've also tried both of these commands while using the "cat /dev/videoX" 
and still do not get any output.

Anyone else using this device?
