I run Arch Linux with Kernel 2.6.37 (x86_64 Machine), kernel26-headers (Header files and scripts for building modules for kernel26) installed.
At first i tried to use the the card "out of the box":

So it doesn't work...
Then I tried to use the drivers from the TBS page. But they won't compile:

Updating/Creating .config
Preparing to compile for kernel version 2.6.37
***WARNING:*** You do not have the full kernel sources installed.
This does not prevent you from building the v4l-dvb tree if you have the
kernel headers, but the full kernel source may be required in order to use
make menuconfig / xconfig / qconfig.
If you are experiencing problems building the v4l-dvb tree, please try
building against a vanilla kernel before reporting a bug.
Vanilla kernels are available at http://kernel.org.
On most distros, this will compile a newly downloaded kernel:
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` <your kernel dir>/.config
cd <your kernel dir>
make all modules_install install
Please see your distro's web site for instructions to build a new kernel.

What is going wrong?
So with no extra drivers installed every TV program casts something like "No /dev/video0" on screen. That is obvious, in /dev there IS no video device...
