Try this (from dvb-driver):

        echo "Inserting DVB modules into kernel"
        # make sure input stuff is there for IR remote controls
        modprobe input
        modprobe evdev
        # vide4linux for av7110 based "full featured" cards
        modprobe videodev

        # frontend drivers
        modprobe ves1x93

        # saa7146 based siemens/technotrend/hauppauge cards
        modprobe saa7146
        modprobe saa7146_vv
        modprobe ttpci-eeprom
        modprobe dvb-ttpci
        modprobe budget-core
        modprobe budget
        modprobe budget-ci
        modprobe budget-av
        # technisat skystar2
        modprobe skystar2.ko
        echo

if [ -e /dev/.devfsd ]; then
        echo "It seems you are using devfs. Good!"
        exit 0
