First thing seems to be is it a WinTV PVR USB 2 or the WinTV PVR USB or 
the WinTV USB as there are different drivers ...

For the usb2 I found http://justiceforall.free.fr/pvrusb2.html

For the non usb2 PVR there is http://pvrusb.sourceforge.net/

And finally for the Non PVR there's http://usbvision.sourceforge.net/

Assuming it's a WinTV USB (not the PVR) I'd have expected to see 
usbvision in your lsmod ...
