No news is good news here, it means the module loaded or was already loaded. Check for entries in /dev/dvb, you should have an adapter0 or 0 and 1 depending if you already have a digital tuner, say a PCIe one. Following that shut down the backend, fire up mythtv-setup, add a capture card with type “ATSC...” and pick the new adapter device. The rest of it is documented but basically add a lineup, scan for channels, and associate with a listings source.

If this is your second digital tuner (ie, you have two+ entries in /dev/dvb) you should be aware the the kernel will find, and number, the devices inconsistently with each boot. It doesn’t matter much when both devices have the same channel lineup but any difference will wreak havoc as myth tries to record from a channel that may not be available on a particular tuner.
