atrpms has packages with updated v4l-dvb drivers (see 
http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc4/video4linux/). Perhaps they already have 
support for at least one of :-) your cards?

Failing that, you can check out the latest v4l-dvb code and compile it 
for your kernel. There should be instructions somewhere on 
www.linuxtv.org, but I can't find them at the moment.

Also, you may get better answers asking on the linux-dvb mailing list 
(www.linuxtv.org again).
