Well, the info on linuxtv.org more or less explains how to do it if you 
have compiled your own kernel without the necessary module. The Ubuntu 
kernel comes with all available DVB modules, so you usually shouldn't 
have to compile your own kernel. Only if your card isn't working out of 
the box and the development tree has the working modules, you would 
compile the necessary modules (but not the entire kernel).

As your card isn't brand new, it should be supported already out of the 
box. And I wouldn't do the scan thing either. Instead I would suggest 
to install kaffeine which can scan for DVB channels. However for DVB you 
may also need the packages "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and "linux-
firmware-nonfree".

Then start kaffeine and go to "Television" -> "Configure Television". On 
the "General Options" tab change the recording and time shift folders. 
On the "Device 1" tab (which only exists if your card is found and 
working) select the source (your location) and click "OK". Then press 
"c" and click on "Start Scan". When it has finished scanning, select the 
channels you want to use from the "Scan Results" and click "Add 
Selected", then click "OK".
