Hi Daniel,
new USB PIDs are added when someone reports on this list that they are
working.
That's exactly what you did, so now it's possible to add it.
If you know how to do it, you can create a patch to add the new ID.
Of course you have to define a new PID, as you cannot overwrite an
existing PID like they suggest on the Ubuntu forums.
If you don't know hot to do a patch, I can do it for you, as long as you
are willing to test it.

It would be nice to know the exact name of the new product. I see people
reporting it as a new revision of the Elgato EyeTV DTT and others as the
Elgato EyeTV Deluxe. Which one do you have exactly?

Gianluca
