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.

Ok, I did not know about the xc5000 tuner, so, no, it was not in place. I went over the to the link and downloaded the extract script, and I looked at the read me txt, but I have no idea what I am suppose to do from here. When I run the extract script, I get dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw Am I suppose to do anything with this? Do I need to put this in the v4l-dvb folder?
Again, sorry for asking what seems like the obvious, but I am still new to the linux side of the house.
Thanks again,
Ed
