This is what I found when goggling for V-Stream TV-PVR USB2.0:

http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:KWorld%20XPERT%20TV%20PVR%20USB2.0%20Input%20Adapter:1991834043

If this is your device, then it is _not_ a DVB-T receiver but a 
analog-capture-box

Also the USB IDs are not yet assigned to any DVB-T USB driver.

Hmm, now I'm getting confused ;): Which device do you have?

V-Stream XPERT DTV - DVB-T or V-Stream TV-PVR USB2.0.

Me neither, but probably it is compatible and we just have to add the IDs 
to a driver and it will work.

If it is the DVB-T device, then there won't be any /dev/video-nodes, but 
/dev/dvb/adapterX/*-nodes.

Just to make sure: Can you point me to a website of your device?

Then we probably have to take a look into your box (to find out the ICs in 
use) and/or do some usblogging in Windows to figure out, which driver is 
the right one for your device.

regards,
Patrick.
