It would be helpful to see the output of 'modprobe cx23885 i2c_scan=1' , after first doing 'modprobe -r cx23885' -- I have this card also, and I'd like to make sure that we have the same revision. I started working on this one, but I've been held up due to firmware issues-- So far, the working ATSC linux drivers for the xc3028 have all worked when coupled with an LGDT3303 demod. In your device, we have a Samsung demodulator, instead. The xc3028 requires a different firmware image in this case, and I haven't yet found time to work that out. I'd expect to have the details sorted within the next month or so, but I don't want to make any promises.
