I've just had a quick look and found linux-dvb package in at-bleeding.
 So I tried to install this and god the following error

linuxtv-dvb:
 Depends: kernel-module-linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1-4.rhfc2.at but it is not installable

I'm using kernel 2.6.8-1.521 as mentioned in Jarod's guide.  Should it
be possible to get a working Myth DVB system purely using apt-get?

Sorry, that was remiss.  Here's the output of dmesg when I use insmod.sh.
