has anyone managed to get this tuner to work in F11?

I went to LinuxTV.org and got completely confused.
I was hoping that F11 would have the drivers built-in.

I do not have that particular USB tuner. Mine is a Pinnacle HDPC Pro
801e. It did not work in Fedora 10 because of missing modules and
firmware and I had little success trying to install them myself. I
have had better results with Fedora 11 which does have the most of the
software necessary for my USB tuner but it did not have all of the
drivers.<br>
<br>
I have had limited success with the DVB drivers from LinuxTV.org. What
I discovered when first attempting to get my USB tuner working that
some drivers and modules were still missing. Try scanning the tuner
using one of the DVB tools (scandvb) and check your messages log. Some
of the modules and firmware is not loaded until the device is first
used. Running scandvb or other DVB applications, should result in
either the USB tuner working or list what driver, module or firmware
was not found and loaded (/var/log/messages). You need to repeat this
process because the error messages usually stop after the first missing
software is detected.<br>
<br>
With luck, if you are missing software, either LinuxTV.org or Google
can help you find the pieces you need.<br>
<br>
The part that I am missing is that I have not figured out how to get
the video4linux or video4linux2 drivers to work, thus allowing me to
access my USB tuner with /dev/videoN and /dev/radioN.<br>
