I have one of these cards in my system. The Ubuntu website asks you to  
download and install certain firmware files, and I believe this is  
where your problem is. The firmware files refer to Chris Pascoes  
original driver, and the new one uses an extracted firmware from a  
Hauppauge card.

Unfortunately I am writing this email in a hurry as I am late for  
work, but I would check your dmesg output to see if there are any  
messages relating to firmware. The script for extracting the current  
firmware has been put into the kernel source and written by Steve Toth  
I believe.
