TV Tuner - PixelView PlayTV Pro

I have a PixelView PlayTV Pro Ultra (Stereo) TV Tuner and I never could install it on Linux. Does anyone have the same tuner and/or can help me install it? I couldn't find anything in Google about how to install it.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and sorry for my bad English.

Re: TV Tuner - PixelView PlayTV Pro

Solved! Add the following lines in /etc/modprobe.conf:

# Modules for PixelView PlayTV Pro Ultra (Stereo)
# -- Card number is 27 -- 
#
options cx88xx card=27 tuner=59
options cx8800

Then reboot, install tvtime (or other television application, like kdetv, xawtv, etc.) and try if it's working. Unfortunately, the remote control is not working

Edit: The remote is working, but not how it's supposed to - "Function +/-" work as "Volume +/-", and not all buttons work (like "Power", "Loop", "+100", etc.).
