  From a quick glance, it looks to me as if you hadn't loaded the
 saa7134-dvb module - It does not load by itself.  Do:
 
 modprobe saa7134-dvb
 
 ...and it should take you a little bit further.  :-)
 
 Hope this helps,

Yay! Success at last. Again not much configuration required by me. Now I 
just have to work out why there are a bunch of channels missing (BBC3, 
BBC4, History etc) that my WinTV Nova-T card could pick up.

Thanks for all the help guys!
