Same problem with a variant: access to DVB-T could be fixed but side
effects on webcam device

Description: Hauppauge HVR-1300 with analog & DBV-T functions, using
cx88 which by default did not work either in Feisty.

1. My quick initial fix was to get the drivers from www.linuxtv.org and compile 
and load them.
Then without any additional action, the device could properly work, kaffeine 
was the proof.

2. However, as I am using a Logitech Quickcam Chat Skype, I have got surprised 
that the webcam did not work anymore.
After investigation I found out that the webcam was initially /dev/video0 but 
now I had the following devices:
/dev/video0 for cx88
/dev/video1 for cx88 (I guess for the MPEG hardware, but I think the driver to 
use it is not yet developped from the comments I found through www.linuxtv.org)

By no means I have found a way to recover the webcam. I tried the same way I 
enabled it in U6.10 by compiling and installing the drivers from 
http://mxhaard.free.fr/ which was reported to be successful in the forums.
However in U7.04 they do not compile, I tried the last 3 versions, where the 
versiĆ³n (current - 2) was properly installing in U6.10.

3. Last workaround will be to reinstall U7.04 and load the modules as
stated in this thread, in order not to lose the webcam functionalities
(after checking whether any other one has been successful that way).
