You did a make but you do not list doing a 'make install'.

Maybe you missed a step?

You have been playing with 2 different tuners, and it appears that one 
is analog and the other is a hybrid analog/digital. And it appears that 
you may have been attempting to test the digital side, by looking at the 
analog device socket and possibly vice versa. (The story is long and 
confusing, even in the web-site, since it is not always clear what the 
hardware is *supposed* to do, so we can look for the correct results.)

The linuxtv.org wiki (  http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) 
  has a mass of pages of background info about the 2 different standards 
and how to test your card. The AVerTV does both analog and digital and 
probably needs 2 drivers installed, 2 sets of firmware, and 'talks' to 2 
different places in /dev. This may (or may not) be dealt with by the 
installer or you may have to do things twice. A quick glance also shows 
that the driver at avermedia comes in both 'X64' and 'x86' versions: are 
you using the correct one? (Looks like it, as I would expect you would 
not get as far as you do in the installation).

At the end of it all you need to have a h826d.ko file somewhere in your 
filesystem.
