By default on Ubuntu 8.04 or any 2.6.24 kernel the driver for the TV tuner is not supplied and must be installed separately. If you plug in the tv tuner without the driver installed only the IR remote sensor will be detected. e.g.

input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.01 Keyboard [Leadtek WinFast DTV Dongle Gold] on usb-0000:00:13.5-7

To install the driver you will need your kernel headers installed, kernel headers can be installed under ubuntu by running sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
