You have to identify all the chips, for DVB-T there is tuner missing.

USB-interface: cx23885
DVB-T demodulator: AF9013
RF-tuner: ?

If there is existing driver for used RF-tuner it comes nice hacking 
project for some newcomer.

It is just tweaking and hacking to find out all settings. AF9013 driver 
also needs likely some changes, currently it is used only for devices 
having AF9015 with integrated AF9013, or AF9015 dual devices having 
AF9015 + external AF9013 providing second tuner.

I have bought quite similar AverMedia A301 ages back as I was looking 
for that AF9013 model, but maybe I have bought just wrong one... :)
