Bus 003 Device 002: ID 2040:5500 Hauppauge
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

As we can see its found it all ok. Right, first of all the device ID 2040:5500 is as i have found out the same hardware as 2040:5510.
2040:5500/5510 is Siano hardware. The sms1xxx will support the Siano and the Hauppauge WinTV MiniStick. I'm still a bit of a noob so havent got too much of an idea how to install these drivers. Any ideas on what to do?

Here is a few helpfull websites

Searching for the USB ID or sms1xxx does not bring up anything even remotely newbie friendly -you may find a way to pull the driver from a git tree, something even I don't want to do
But take a look at the MythTV Ubuntu Installation Guide
There are links to hardware info and you might find your card there
