Actually, I would recommend that you try playing with the 'card=' option to
see if you can get something that works. I suspect that adding support for
this card isn't hard.

Alternatively, you can wait. I've ordered this card myself (it's about time I
start cleaning up the cx23885 driver, so some extra hardware to test with won't
hurt) so once I have it I'll work on adding support for it to the cx23885
driver. The problem is that it has to be ordered, so it may take some time
before it arrives.

There aren't all that many alternatives available for PCIe (PCI is easier). You
can look at the list of supported cards in cx23885-cards.c and see if you can
get any of those other cards.
