Upstream means "official", in this case official supported driver. 

I'd like to suggest:

Remove your device from usb before start your computer:

Clone official driver from linuxtv host:

shell> hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
shell> cd v4l-dvb
shell> make 
shell> make install

Plug your device and try to play your favorite tv application.
If you get any problem or sucess with drivers from v4l-dvb tree send
your report to this mail-list with lsusb and dmesg output. 

p.s:
There is a link at linuxtv wiki about compilation process from
v4l-dvb tree:

Cheers,
Douglas
