For anyone who's interested, here is a short text on how I installed a "Digital Devices Cine CT2 V7 PCIe" TV-card on Ubuntu Server 13.04 LTS.
I used HD Homerun before, and can easily say the the new card is way faster and WAY more reliable. Here's how I set it up;

Opened the package, replaced the long bracket with the low-profile bracket and installed the card
in a PCIE x16 port (Only x1 was needed), and powered up the server.

Once running, SSH to server, check that the hardware is found:

lspci | grep "Digital Devices"

01:00.0 Multimedia controller: Digital Devices GmbH Device 0006

Download the driver. I found several drivers on the homepage at
https://www.digital-devices.eu/shop/de/custom/index/sCustom/80, but for some reason, the newer versions
wouldn't build on my system. Instead, I found a prebuild Debian package from google, and thus;

Download:

wget https://launchpad.net/~yavdr/+archive/ubuntu/unstable-main/+files/dddvb-dkms_0.9.17.0yavdr0-trusty_all.deb

and install:

sudo dpkg -i dddvb-dkms_0.9.17.0yavdr0-trusty_all.deb

We'll check that the package is installed:

sudo dpkg l dddvb*

||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-=======================================-========================-========================-=============================
ii dddvb-dkms 0.9.17.0yavdr0-trusty all dddvb driver in DKMS format.

Restart the server, and check that we have new devices:

ls /dev/dvb/

adapter0 adapter1

All is Well! Continued to setup TVHeadend, and it worked like a charm!

Awesome to hear that you've got your device working but are you using 13.04? Or did you mean 14.04? (I'm going to assume so seeing as you've installed a trusty package).

Ooops, yes, quite right. Rather amateurish, but here is the output from the server so we are quite sure ;-D
