Your stick is labeled as WinTV-HVR-900H but you got a different hardware
than described by the wiki page mentioned above.

According to your dmesg output your card has USB IDs: 2013:025e and that
is the same ID as used for PCTV 522e DVB-T/C (Si2158+Si2165)

The output shows that the chips si2158 and si2165 are successfully
identified.

The driver for the tuner (si2157) does currently not support analog
reception. I do not know what is necessary to add this support.

Maybe Antti or Olli can answer that question.
