does linux detect it? run "ls -l /dev/dvb/" in terminal and see if it shows any adaptors?

looking on the page you listed I can see this info.
This device is supported by the current linuxtv media_build. It does not work out-of-the-box on linux version 3.13.0-24 or earlier. Current linux drivers should work if a patch similar to the following is applied

check your kernal version with "uname -r" if it's bellow 3.13.0-24 you'll need to look for patches.

either way you need to install the linuxtv media drivers. keep reading there site until you understand what to do as this will help in the long run.
