I tried the patch. With the patch applied, I'm able to get a /dev/video0 
device. But thats all, nothing more than that.

Here's what I get when running the available tv applicatons:

rrs at learner:~ $ tvtime
Running tvtime 1.0.1.
Reading configuration from /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml
Reading configuration from /home/rrs/.tvtime/tvtime.xml

    Your capture card driver: em28xx [MSI VOX USB 2.0/4-1.1/1]
    does not support full size studio-quality images required by tvtime.
    This is true for many low-quality webcams.  Please select a
    different video device for tvtime to use with the command line
    option --device.

Thank you for using tvtime.

rrs at learner:~ $ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.94, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.17-my-patches)
/dev/video0 [v4l2]: no overlay support
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway

ERROR!  sizeof(I830DRIRec) does not match passed size from device driver
libGL warning: 3D driver returned no fbconfigs.
libGL error: InitDriver failed
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering


tvtime shows just a blue screen where as xawtv shows me a complete white 
screen (Not the snowy screen).

Just to point you that Markus Rechberger (mrechberger at gmail.com) had helped me 
working on the driver for my card. He has been able to make it work. I get the 
video properly. I can watch tv. The only problem, at the moment, is that 
there's no sound.
You can check the changes in his tree.
