Some updated news from testing this evening:
card=19 gives me a black and white picture via S-Video (I'm struggling
to remember if it noted it as "Composite 2" or "Composite 3" - I should
have written it down...).
I googled about and found that card 43 seems to have roughly the same
chips as mine. So, with that in mind I did the following (no idea if
I'm loading too many modules, but they seem to work OK together):
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88xx card=43
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88-dvb
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx22702
mythtv ~ # modprobe tuner
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88-blackbird
mythtv ~ # dmesg

First test: tvtime. Loaded it up, and it found 2 inputs: "DVB" and
"S-Video". S-Video now gives proper colour. All good.
I then emerged (Gentoo's package manager) linuxtv-dvb-apps. I also
stole an "au-Brisbane" channel config file from a debian dvb-related
.deb package (dvb-utils_1.1.1-1_i386.deb), as the Gentoo ones only have
very limited support for Australia.
I used dvbscan to scan it and output that to ~/.mplayer/channels.conf,
and fired up mplayer with the 'mplayer dvb://"Channel Name"' command.
Lo and behold, I am now watching the world cup in all it's HD glory as I
type this.
I should note that not all channels have audio. I don't know if this is
my setup, the card, or something else. I'll have to take a good look at
the messages mplayer spat out. But "SBS HD" (the channel covering the
world cup) has 48kHz audio (with a slight hiss - dunno if that's my
setup or not). That's all I need for the next 2 weeks at least. :)
Very happy so far. I hope some of the above is useful to someone. Now
to figure out how to use LIRC...

What happens if you try this:

...I'd imagine that might actually get the card working, although it
would be nice to add your card's subsystem id into the driver for
autodetection. Please try the above, and send back to the list the
output produced in 'dmesg' , regardless of whether it works or not.
After that, I can generate some patches for you to test.
Cheers,

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the quick response. dmesg output from the above is:
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88xx card=19
mythtv ~ # modprobe cx88-dvb
mythtv ~ # dmesg

Also here (tell me if you can't see the site - I had to do some heavy
IP blocking due to SPAM problems earlier in the year):
http://www.gamedude.com.au/yuan/
I'll do some testing later this afternoon to see how that goes. So
far a few combinations of card=XX have given me a "working" card as
far as analogue inputs go, but I'm still struggling to get the tuner
working for Australian free-to-air DVB-T.
Let me know if there's anything else you need from me.
