Comment 32 for bug 95277

I also have troubles trying to make this device work on Hardy. With the default kernel the U3000 was not recognized.

I've compiled the source code from linuxtv, downloaded the firmware and now I can see the tuner when I insert it in the usb port:

[ 218.897833] usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[ 219.030596] usb 5-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

So everything looks "fine", but I've got no /dev/video* so now I'm stuck here...
