Looks like I am lost in the woods real fine. The 2200 indeed is a dual hybrid tuner with hardware decoding and mpeg2 output.
If /dev/video* is analog, then I will have to look for some DVB-item; most probably that will be in /dev too. I must have overlooked this obvious information because googleing brings only /video* up which lead me up the garden path. So much for thinking out of the box.
I am not in this weekend, so on Monday I will tell you more.
