They are indeed different, mine has xc2028 chip, while yours - cx231xx, the dmesg file is attached.

Mine could not catch any signal (although did not show any error) until I installed the firmware. I've found it in aur (xc3028-fw 27-1), you can see the corresponding line in dmesg:

xc2028 16-0061: Loading 80 firmware images from xc3028-v27.fw, type: xc2028 firmware, ver 2.7

I believe you need to install fw for your device as well from:

http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/  (v4l-cx231xx-avcore-01.fw)

After that everything is straight forward, you can run w_scan (from aur) to create the cahnnel list, put it in /etc/mplayer/channels.conf (if you use mplayer - I never used tvtime) and run "mplayer dvb://".
