With kernel >=4.18 try to choose Starburst2 by using modprobe "options cx23885 card=59" [1].
With kernel <4.18 configure WinTV-HVR-5525 by using modprobe "options cx23885 card=52".
su - cd /lib/firmware wget https://github.com/OpenELEC/dvb-firmware/raw/master/firmware/dvb-demod-m88rs6000.fw cd /etc/modprobe.d echo "options cx23885 card=52" > 98-WinTV-Starburst-2.conf
Reboot system.
