I posted this last year:

You may need to load the Linux kernel module.  'cx8800'

Go into 'mythtv-setup' and add another '2. Capture cards' -> '(New capture 
card)' -> 'Standard V4L capture card' and select the right 'Video device'.  I 
couldn't get the audio connectors on the DVB-T card to work, so I connected 
directly to the sound card.
