If anyone else is trying to figure out how to get one of the new 
nova-t's working, here's what I eventually got to work for me:

Get and unpack linux-2.6.9-rc2 from kernel.org
grab http://dl.bytesex.org/patches/2.6.9-rc2-2/patch-2.6.9-rc2-kraxel.gz 
and apply it to your kernel
check out current linux-dvb cvs and run makelinks <dir your kernel is in>
configure kernel (make sure you include CX88 and CX22702 support)
build, install, reboot

hotplug loaded all the modules for me, I didn't need to do any manual 
insmod/modprobes. Then I just did "scan  
/usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/uk-BlackHill > 
~/dvbchannels.conf", and "tzap -c ~/dvbchannels.conf -r 'ITV 2'" and was 
able to view using "mplayer  - < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0.
