trying the v4l2 command doesn't output anything about dvb-t and the video standard is wrong because i'm in a pal region:

i found this card on linuxtv.org which really looks like mine and i've tried to do as wrote but nothing changes apart from the card name
https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/NotOnlyTV_LV3H
I didn't bother about testing in another pci slot since on windows xp worked, (not in windows 7 but i don't think it's locked in some way or would have been stopped in linux as in it). I'm on artix linux lxqt s6.
Could be the wrong ntsc standard to make it find nothing? Can be set in some way?
Edit: solved by passing the correct card version number (i had to try multiple times because was really unknown, on the card box is called generically manhattan) creating cx88xx.conf in /etc/modprobe.d containing:
options cx88xx card=81
