For a sufficiently new version of sane-backends all that should be
needed is adding

  usb 0x04b8 0x0807

to your epson.conf.  Alternatively, you can add an entry for it in
epson_usb.c and recompile.  That would make the addition to epson.conf
superfluous.  You should at least be able to scan, other functionality
may not be fully supported.

I doubt the v4l backend (using your TV-card) will work.

Hope this helps,
