Is it really in NUV format or is it just a file with a .nuv extension?

$ file 1009_20051119195800.nuv
1009_20051119195800.nuv: data

is a NUV file

$ file 1009_20060924220100.mpg
1009_20060924220100.mpg: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex

is a PVR-x50-recorded MPEG file

$ file 1021_20061212200000.mpg
1021_20061212200000.mpg: TeX font metric data
(ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ)

is an OTA HTDV recording

You can also use mplayer (especially with verbose output) to get "real"
container-/CODEC-type information.
