You can checkout the latest v4l-dvb source from mercurial (or download a 
snapshot), and run

make SRCDIR=/path/to/your/kernel/2.6.33/source/tree

Make sure your kernel source tree has been configured (you might need to 
compile it as well, not sure about that).

I'm pretty sure this is a mismatch between the uvcvideo and videodev kernel 
modules. Please reinstall the whole v4l-dvb subsystem, either from your 
distribution packages or from the v4l-dvb repository. Make sure both the 
uvcvideo driver and the v4l-dvb core come from the same source.
