To get this working in Ubuntu:

NOTE: I HAD to do this procedure to recompile v4l-dvb
- edit file: linux/drivers/media/video/cx23885/cx23885-cards.c
- change the "subdevice" line for the 1250 card to "2259", per the output of lspci:
- before compiling, you may have to run this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
install the dvb-apps package
or....
- install the gnome-dvb-client package
or...
- install the v4l-conf package
if lspci | grep -i cx23885 doesn't return anything, then modprobe cx23885
or...
