David, what is the exact kernel version? If it is 2.6.8 or newer,
then you may be having trouble due to the change in device number for
the dvb devices.

hamish@tv:~$ ls -l /dev/dvb/adapter0/

212 is the major number. In <= 2.6.7, the number you need is 250.
After that, it is 212. You may have to adjust the devices in /dev
(man mknod for instructions).
