It looks like you are locking on to a signal. My guess is 
that you need to do something to get the data transferred 
from the lgdt3303 chip to the PCI bus. There is a function 
in the CX23880x chip that does this for the Gold cards. The 
cx8802 part of the driver deals with this data transfer. 
This uses the MPEG interface. It moves the data from the 
MPEG data line(s) to the application via the PCI bus. I 
don't know how that is handled with the bt88xx stuff. If it 
uses the parallel interface change:

.serial_mpeg      = 0,

or remove the line altogether.

Was the analog driver loaded? The tda9887 chip is not used 
by the digital driver. The digital driver attempts to make 
it quiet, but does not use it. It it is not found it does 
not matter.

I used a poor template for my driver. I'll look into fixing 
it.

Something else has to transfer the data to the application. 
The lgdt3303 can not do it directly. The MPEG interface is 
the only way data gets from out of the lgdt3303. Something 
else must take the data and put it into buffers for the 
application. The interface must match as serial or 
parallel.
