DVB is always a bit tricky with MythTV, but it can be done. Last weekend
I spend a good few hours hand hacking the mysql database to finally get
it working.

If you're confident with mysql, you can check the cardinput table and
verify that the 'startchan' for your DVB card actually matches a valid
configured DVB channel.

I could give you a dump of my own sql tables, but I'm using satellite
here and you seem to be picking up with terrestrial.

Further, I found that I could only get it going if I enabled the option
to always keep the dvb device open.
