I'm afraid that I can't help you directly, except to add in some experiences
of my own and ask for some more info on your 9.10 setup :-(

I have one Ubuntu 9.10 based backend, TT-3200 and HVR 4000 cards, running
the same drivers you mention above, although I am on mythtv 0.22. On that
system, DVB-S and -T are almost fine, full EPG data fine via EIT, all
collected and updated correct, but the frontend hangs 100% of the time when
you zap from a DVB-T service (HVR-4000 card) to a DVB-S service (TT-3200
card). The other way, DVB-S -> DVB-T, is fine.

So then for the fun I setup a separate Ubuntu 10.04 based backend, only HVR
4000 cards, same drivers as above again. On *that* system, DVB-S is fine
(EPG built from EIT all present and correct, live tv fine) but as you have
above no DVB-T channels found in myth.

The card is working fine though and antenna etc setup is perfectly OK
because I can get full DVB-T channel list and full 7 day guide using me-tv
1.3.2

I was doing these setups mainly as an entertaining part of a home
network/media setup and as an interesting learning experience, and from that
point of view it was a roaring success, since I spent many a happy hour
diagnosing and fixing all manner of glitches. But I have still not managed
to get a unified DVB-T + DVB-S setup going properly with myth.

I'd be quite happy to have DVB-S and -T working together on Ubuntu 9.10/myth
0.22 though, and you say you had that working ... so how did you manage that
:-)
