Shifting the card to one of the primary PCI slots solved the problems reported above. I now can tune and stream from the card. There, not that "scary" as the only responder suggested. A new problem arose - mplayer would report that the video stream is MPEG2 and proceed to multitudes of decoding errors. Somewhere a lie had occurred; it is MPEG4 with H.264 encoding on the terrestrial transmission in NZ. Updating dvb-utils to latest in mercurial has fixed that problem and I now can get video and audio streams from the hauppauge card. Unfortunately mplayer on a single Alpha 667MHz EV67 isn't fast enough to play the video streams, not even the 576i streams. Bugger.
