Thanks for the advice - I got there (well at least scan works now).
There was one extra problem not documented on either...
http://linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers
...or...
e.g. http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI <http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Hauppauge_WinTV_Nova-T_500_PCI>
The "make" didn't work (this is for an Ubuntu 7.04 desktop, all basic updates and a few things extra, but "nearly new"). Problem was that /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/source didn't exist. So making that ( i.e. "source" in that directory) a symlink to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic/ was enough and "make" went about its jolly business. (Also installed kernel-package in the process but I'm not sure if it effected anything). I'm guessing this is an Ubuntu specific issue?
Any idea when this build and firmware are going to come in the kernel ready-to-go?
I tested it out with scan, mplayer etc and all went well. MythTV is a bit funky (couldn’t get it to just take in the channel.conf file and it gets worse signal strength and BER than bash-shell – bizarre :)
Cheers, Rod.

Get the latest dvb drivers to replace those of your kernel:
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_install_DVB_device_drivers
This is as simple as:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb
<http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvbcd>
cd v4l-dvb
make
sudo make install
after installing mercurial (depends on your distro).
Get firmware
http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/linux-dvb-firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw <http://www.wi-bw.tfh-wildau.de/~pboettch/home/linux-dvb-firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-1.10.fw>
and rename it as /lib/firmware/dvb-usb-dib0700-03-pre1.fw
That's it

Objet : Hauppauge Nova-T Stick (and TD)
Hi All
Any idea if either the Nova-T Stick or the Nova-TD stick will work and what I should do to get them up?
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_novatstick.html
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_novatdstick.html
They don’t “just work” and I wasn’t able to find any answers from the linuxtv.org or mythtv (inc. the archive for this list until Oct’07)
I’m aiming at Unbunt7.04.
“lsusb” shows the sticks are enumerated ok. “grep -i dvb /var/log/messages” says there might be something amiss...

Also “scan /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/fi-Tampere > /root/.tzap/channels.conf”...
...according to “http://parker1.co.uk/mythtv_dvb.php further” implies it just ain’t working...
scanning /usr/share/doc/dvb-utils/examples/scan/dvb-t/fi-Tampere
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
main:2247: FATAL: failed to open '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0': 2 No such file or directory
I don’t fear a bit of hard work, but naturally any clues the above gives to a quick solution would be ever so nice.
Thanks in advance,
Rod.
