a good guide to get the card working:
http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/DigitalTelevisionDVB

Jason Beck's guide to modifying the db for use with QAM:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/150118?do=post_view_threaded#150118
its not all that up to date with current CVS, but I've yet to get around to
