Those modules as listed by lsmod. The radio feature of your tv card would
be worth another test, btw ;) although right now I can't tell whether
gnome-radio works.

 From your dmesg output:

| cx23885[0]/0: registered device video0 [v4l2]

/dev/video0 as used by tvtime by default.

| cx23885[0]: registered device video1 [mpeg]

/dev/video1 that's the one other users get audio with together
with mplayer. Even other users report success with mythtv, but
mplayer should be easier.
