The website says it can do both digital and analogue, the paper manual
says it only does digital, so without spending some time trying to find
a tuner the kernel can talk to I really can't be sure.  Even if we
skip that for the moment, the DVB-T200 v4l struct currently doesn't even
mention that the card has a TV input.  According to the website, all
the DVB-T2* cards have TV input, though the T220 doesn't have a
composite input.

Don't know if it works yet, as I've not got far enough to tell.  I'm
guessing it's unlikely to be able to autodetect this card.  Here's the
dmesg output:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:0f.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 185
CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 0000:0000, board: KWorld LTV883RF

tuner 1-0060: chip found @ 0xc0 (cx88[0])

cx88[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2]
cx88[0]/0: registered device vbi0
cx88[0]/0: registered device radio0

And in case it's useful:

00:0f.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video
and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 185

        Capabilities: [44] Vital Product Data
        Capabilities: [4c] Power Management version 2

The paper manual has a small label stuck to the bottom corner of the
first page that says "VS-LTV883RF" so it seems like a good bet combined
with the information from the packaging claiming that V-Stream is a
trademark of KWorld.

Hmmm:

[root@hallertau ~]# modprobe saa7134-dvb
[root@hallertau ~]# ls /dev/dvb
ls: /dev/dvb: No such file or directory
[root@hallertau ~]# modprobe cx88-dvb
[root@hallertau ~]# ls /dev/dvb
ls: /dev/dvb: No such file or directory

Should udev be creating these?  I have it in debug mode atm, so I can
try to work out what's going on.
