Probably because that's not the correct device.  This is the lspci from my ATI 
HDTV Wonder:

00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI 
Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
00:0d.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video 
and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05)
00:0d.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video 
and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)

The easy way to tell is to do an lspci -v.  This shows:

00:0d.0 Multimedia video controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI 
Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)
	Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc HDTV Wonder
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at dd000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: cx8800
	Kernel modules: cx8800

00:0d.1 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video 
and Audio Decoder [Audio Port] (rev 05)
	Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Device a101
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at dc000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: cx88_audio
	Kernel modules: cx88-alsa

00:0d.2 Multimedia controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video 
and Audio Decoder [MPEG Port] (rev 05)
	Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Device a101
	Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
	Memory at db000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: cx88-mpeg driver manager
	Kernel modules: cx8802


On eBay the compatible ones are listed for $14 (plus shipping) as "R-10827".  
The one I got was new and had a seller warranty.

HTH!
