With the dvb-based modules, the card has to load the frontend firmware,
e.g. from /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/ . In one of my setups, I found it
didn't load the firmware until I ran the mythtv-setup channel scan for the
first time. Check your dmesg for something like this:
$ dmesg
...
cx2388x dvb driver version 0.0.4 loaded
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:09.2[A] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 21
cx88[0]/2: found at 0000:02:09.2, rev: 5, irq: 21, latency: 64, mmio:

cx88[0]/2: cx2388x based dvb card

DVB: registering frontend 0 (pcHDTV HD3000 HDTV)...

or51132: Firmware upload complete.
I've found little difference between the dvb and v4l, but I think the
dvb-based code will have more support in the future, as that's where more
developers seem to be working.
