I suggest you try loading a live disk like knoppix, or maybe mandriva one, which will probably detect the card automaticaly. Then you can do an lsmod and see which modules are needed and add them to the debian start up scripts. Or if they won't load recompile your debian kernel to include them. Or just maybe use a distro that is better on detecting and installing TV cards. Mine is somewhat obscure, but k/ubuntu suse, mephis and knoppix all detected it.
