Mike;
How old is your Nova-t USB?
I had one that I bought last year that has the Alps tdmb7 tuner. I've been trying to get this to work over the last couple of weeks and reached the same point as you. The modules load OK but you can't tune in to anything.
Hauppauge changed the tuner in the Nova-t usb some time in the second half of last year (I think). It now has the Philips tda1004x tuner.
I bought one yesterday and I've now got much further i.e. tzap will lock onto a channel.
As Andrew says - I've built my 2.6.3 kernel without the dvb drivers and I downloaded and built dvb-kernel from the linuxtv CVS
So far I'm just manually loading dvb-core, dvb-ttusb-budget and tda1004x. If it turns out you have the tda1004x tuner (and you will if your nova-t usb is fairly new) then you also need the firmware for it. This is documented in a couple of places but to save you time you need the Windows drivers for the nova-t PCI adapter (v2.15a), extract ttlcdacc.dll and put it in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware, renaming it as tda1004x.bin.
I'm building xine just now and will be working on this over the weekend so I'll let you know when I have it all working.

For 2.6.3, you'll need to _not_ use the in-kernel drivers, and use the latest
from CVS instead; it should support it. I think dvb-kernel release 1.1.1
should support it as well, but the CVS one has several speedups to tuning.
