please try a modprobe tda9887 debug=1 to see some debug messages where it fails.
Proceed like this:
modprobe tda9887 debug=1
modprobe saa7115 
modprobe usbvision
Then, plug-in your device.
Geeksbox is based on mplayer, I tested OK mplayer but with some tuning like this:
mplayer -tv driver=v4l2:width=320:height=240:norm=SECAM:outfmt=yuy2:channels=21-F2 tv://

Cheers,
Thierry
