If DVB-T is also not working, then I suspect that the device is different
than the previous revisions. There are two ways to connect the DRX-K with
em28xx: serial or parallel. Maybe you need to touch that.

The better would be to sniff the usb traffic using the tools at v4l-utils.git
and see what's happening there.
