Acquiring images from avertv hybrid volar hd in MATLAB

I want to acquire images from a live video that is getting streamed through avertv hybrid volarhd device (A TV to PC adapter). The device is being identified as a "Video Controller" instead of an "Imaging device" in the device manager(This seems to be the problem when I checked other similar questions online). So far I have tried using the Image Acquisition Toolbox of MATLAB, but I am unable to acquire any frames. I have also tried using OpenCV with Python but the VideoCapture function is unable to recognise my device. Please tell me an alternative module/library/ method to do so in any language.

    The method suggested in this answer works for me. The DVdriver software works for me with few tweaks in the settings. Thanks to the original poster for a workaround.
