Right well that doesn't look like a DVB-T card to me, it looks like a
framegrabber for ordinary analogue TV.

modprobe bttv

should load the module, and assuming it is the only v4l device you have
it will create a device called /dev/video0

now try watching with xawtv, and if that works graduate to tvtime. Both
in portage.

xmltv has no connection with your tv card. xmltv downloads programme
listings, but it doesn't tune your card. It tells you what is on TV, but
doesn't play it for you.
