I think that means that your dvb card is not available.  What happened
when you set up the card?  Did it let you select dvb0?  Make sure
mythbackend is not running when you run mythtvsetup as it can 'grab'
the card.

I'm sure if you Google your transmitter name with dvb and frequency
you'll be able to find it out.

Hmm that would be a shame.  What version of the kernel do you have?

uname -r

Otherwise you probably need to seek help from people who use Ubuntu. 
I've only ever set up on Fedora.
