[mythtv-users] Ubuntu Feisty Nova DVB-T problem

Ive had to reinstall MythTV.  I have managed to restore my database
and media files and play recorded stuff but cant get the two Nova-T
cards working.

Ubuntu seems to know about the cards:

mythtv at pilger:~$ dmesg | grep DVB
[   49.459081] CORE cx88[0]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge
Nova-T DVB-T [card=18,autodetected]
[   49.639115] tveeprom 2-0050: TV standards ATSC/DVB Digital (eeprom 0x80)
[   49.639283] input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T as /class/input/input5
[   49.640099] CORE cx88[1]: subsystem: 0070:9002, board: Hauppauge
Nova-T DVB-T [card=18,autodetected]
[   49.793697] tveeprom 3-0050: TV standards ATSC/DVB Digital (eeprom 0x80)
[   49.793786] input: cx88 IR (Hauppauge Nova-T DVB-T as /class/input/input6

But when I run mythtv-setup under capture card settings when I select
'DVB DTV capture cards (v3.x)' Frontend ID says 'Could not open card
#0 Subtype: No such file or'.

This is the same if I try card #1 (I have two installed that were working fine).

I get the following in the log files:

2007-06-27 00:05:59.451 DVBChan(0) Error: Opening DVB frontend device failed.
                        eno: No such file or directory (2)

                        eno: No such file or directory (2)
ERROR: no valid capture cards are defined in the database.

Any ideas?
