What you are doing wrong is simply the fact that you are believing
what lspci says.

lspci ALWAYS interprets 14f1:8800 as the Conexant card... it isn't
wrong either... the PCI ID on all cx88 cards is the same -- it is the
SUBSYSTEM id that identifies your individual card.

lspci is correctly identifying your card's subsystem id as 0070:9002
... Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T

You can blame your distro for having an outdated pci id database. 
Nobody cares anyway -- almost everyone is using the same outdated pci
id data.  Take a look in dmesg -- you will find that the cx88 driver
has in fact recognized your card correctly.

I repeat -- do not trust lspci -vv output.  If you want meaningful
output showing your actual pci id / subsystem id, do lspci -vn.

If you want this information to show up correctly in lspci, then you
will have to update your local pci id database from
pciids.sourceforge.net

I hope this helps,
