Well the question is, is there a device file in /dev corresponding to to
your TV card?  It may be that once you identify it and symlink it to
/dev/video0 everything will work fine.

I can't suggest what this hypothetical device file may be called due to
my distinct lack of PCTV experience, but I presume Google can haelp you
out here.

P.S.  As it's a USB device, I'd look in /dev/usb if it exists.
