Interesting.

I'm guessing it's probably bogus, then.

You're basically forcing the driver to assume that your tuner is that
particular one. I'm guessing the LG tuner it's set to is a can tuner,
which is far too big to be in a USB device. I'd suggest that "Terratec
Cinergy T XS (MT2060)" or "Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T" would be a better
choice.

That's because you're telling the driver that your device is one that
doesn't support DVB-T; I'm not sure why it even tries to load. (The
fact that it doesn't do the right GPIO-twiddling doesn't help either.)

It's not that hard (in theory); it just requires booting into Windows
and running a USB sniffer to find out what the Windows driver sends.
It's just that it's different for different devices. I'm sure Markus
will tell you more.
