Mythbuntu 8.01 DVB Hardware Issue

Hi All, I'm having a minor hardware issue that I hope someone can help
me with.
Yesterday I decided to make my wife's Windows XP based desktop dual boot
Mythbuntu 8.01 so that I'd have access to the media on my file server
via a media centre interface in the bedroom. I've got Mythbuntu 8.01
running fine in the living room, but with a different dvb card.
Mythbuntu installed fine except two things. The first is that I'm as
yet unable to configure widescreen support for the ATI card, but I can
get this fixed on my own. What's got me stumped is the DVB card.
The card is a DViCO FusionHDTV DVB-T Lite, a bit old but is supposed to
work with stock kernels since 2.6.9. Mythbuntu, however, doesn't seem
able to see the card.
The relevant section of lsmod reads:
Module | Size | Used by
dvb_bt8xx | 17796 | 1
dvb_core | 81404 | 1 dvb_bt8xx
and
bttv | 175860 | dvb_bt8xx bt878
So the modules seem to be there.
If I cd into /dev/dvb/ a single adapter is listed as adapter0
However, upon dmesg | grep dvb I get:
[ 41.072890] bttv0: add subdevice "dvb0"
Any suggestions and/or help would be much appreciated.
