Hi Steven,
Many thanks for your answer.
The card is analog only. So no DVB of any kind is supported.
I tried several <card> options including the Leadtek one that you suggested. 
I got not luck so far... The typical behaviour is that the cx23885 driver 
loads, but fails to initialize the frontend. It generates the following log 
messages and then crashes the kernel when rmmod.
===
cx23885 driver version 0.0.1 loaded

I started an Wiki page for this card:

Aegyssus,
Does this card handle DVB? If so try loading the cx23885 with the option 
card=12.

If it doesn't you will have to wait a little longer for linux support or try 
writing your own driver.

If you have some spare time, please create a wiki page for this card similar 
to this one:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek_Winfast_PxDVR_3200_H

and also update:
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Leadtek

The driver's currently for the cx23885 chipset aren't stable enough to 
reliably run the analog (well in my personal experience, and analog is not a 
high priority for me).
However there is some patches floating around that add support for other 
similar cards, that have managed to get the analog working near or 
perfectly.

If you want to attempt to write your own driver look in the source files 
under
linux/drivers/media/video/cx23885/
and try to understand how they work.

If you want to wait to I or someone else has some spare time, then please at 
least create the wiki page with:
* High resolution photo of board.
* Photo of the major chips.
* output of lspci -vvn
* A Dscaler Regspy output (see this message to get the right version: 
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-dvb/msg28077.html)
* i2cdetect -l and also the i2cdetect output for each of the 3 buses on this 
card.

Thanks, for bringing this to list.

Regards,
Stephen.
