I'm using

alias char-major-250 dvb 

alias /dev/ost/* dvb 

options dvb init_chan=2 pids_off=0 

options SP8870 debug=1 

options saa7146_core mode=0 

below saa7146_core tuner stv0299 tda8083 SP8870 L64781 VES1820 VES1893 

below dvb saa7146_v4l

and this works fine on my system (I'm using devfs; maybe this makes a 
difference)

Best regards, Ronald.
