I must say that I've not had any problems whatsoever with
tuning/recording with either of the Nova-Ts in my system (both using the
Conexant chipset).  I am, however, using the latest drivers from CVS (or
Mercurial nowadays) rather than the in-kernel drivers.  You may want to
give those a try (see http://www.linuxtv.org/).

This should show in lspci (mine shows as "Multimedia video controller:
Conexant CX23880/1/2/3 PCI Video and Audio Decoder (rev 05)").  You
could also check out lsmod to see which DVB modules have loaded, and
dmesg should show the initialisation of the card.

Cheers,
        Robin
