DVB comes with kernels 2.6.12rc4 or something like that (or newer).
Check the pchdtv.com website for details.

V4L drivers will slowly die, but are the way to go if you have an
"old" kernel (2.6.9 or thereabouts), but you will have to patch the
kernel yourself.

MythTV support for DVB is less polished than with V4L (at least in my
experience) in terms of matching up the scanned channels with your
zap2it account (which I guess only matters if you're in USA), etc.

Probably, but I can't help you here; I only have HD-3000 cards in my
system.
