This looks the same as mine so far, then much later I get:

[   26.661655] em28xx: New device PCTV PCTV 292e @ 480 Mbps (2013:025f, interface 0, class 0)
[   26.661658] em28xx: DVB interface 0 found: isoc
[   26.661755] em28xx: chip ID is em28178

And even later:

[   28.623510] em28178 #1: EEPROM ID = 26 00 01 00, EEPROM hash = 0x0012f904
[   28.623514] em28178 #1: EEPROM info:

[   28.630864] em28178 #1: dvb set to isoc mode.

Then even later (there might be some T290 stuff in here too).

Have you tried manually "modprobe em28xx”?

just in case your distro doesn’t have the right hotplug config?
