Make sure the card is recognized in lspci, heres the output from mine
000:00:10.0 Multimedia video controller: Internext Compression Inc
iTVC16 (CX23416) MPEG-2 Encoder (rev 01)
Subsystem: Hauppauge computer works Inc. WinTV PVR 250
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 5
Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)

I know there are some issues with different versions of the card, but
u'd have to google for them.
