Before we try anything else, I would like to rule out the obvious:

Do you have the firmware for the xc5000 tuner in place? If not, then
please download it from http://www.steventoth.net/linux/xc5000/ and
extract the firmware using the script in the same location (see the
readme file for instruction). I hope that will resolve the issue.

If you have indeed put the firmware in place for your previous tests,
would you please post the *full* output of dmesg? You can post that at
pastebin.com and just send the link in the email.
