I had the same issue a couple years ago.. When I finally did get it to compile, it kept segfaulting on me. So what I did was take a small Windows Box, install windows 7 on it. Install the Ceton Windows 7 USB driver. Once that was installed, I bridged the windows NIC with the USB NIC that gets created by the driver. Once the Bridge was set up, I made sure the Ceton Device had an IP that was accessible on my LAN, then set up MythTV to point to the IP like the Ethernet Ceton devices.

It was basically a hack on the Windows Tuner Sharing that Ceton briefly supported. Sorry if I missed some steps, its been some time since I did this. I would definitely recommend picking up a different Tuner if this is not something you want to be tinkering with.
