Can you look at the kernel log (dmesg) and report messages printed by the 
uvcvideo driver ?

That's to be expected, as the new v4l-dvb build you installed replaced the 
core v4l modules (such as videodev.ko), and the new version isn't compatible 
with the uvcvideo driver that came with your kernel.
