Yup, it's a Twinhan clone called a Chaintech Digitop DST-1000.

 From my previous boot:

So it looked to me like the card was being detected properly...

I also looked in /etc/udev/rules.d/ (this is on FC3 updated) and there are
specific rules for the PCHD3000 card:

[root at tuner ~]# head /etc/udev/rules.d/10-pchdtv.rules
KERNEL="video*" SYSFS{device}="0x8802" SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}="0x7063" 
SYMLINK="dtv%e"

KERNEL="dvb0.dvr*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/dvr%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.demux*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/demux%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.frontend*",   NAME="dvb/adapter0/frontend%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.audio*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/audio%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.ca*",         NAME="dvb/adapter0/ca%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.osd*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/osd%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.net*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/net%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.video*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/video%n"
[root at tuner ~]#

plus there are generic rules in "50-udev.rules":

...
KERNEL="dvb"  Name="dvb0"

KERNEL="dvb0.dvr*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/dvr%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.demux*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/demux%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.frontend*",   NAME="dvb/adapter0/frontend%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.audio*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/audio%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.ca*",         NAME="dvb/adapter0/ca%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.osd*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/osd%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.net*",        NAME="dvb/adapter0/net%n"
KERNEL="dvb0.video*",      NAME="dvb/adapter0/video%n"
...

So I'm not sure what's going on...  Perhaps udev doesn't correctly support
more than one DVB adapter?  Is there any way to force which adapter
numbers get used?
