I too am having problems getting my Nova-t card working under linux, 

What revision of the card are you using ? 
Have you tried using the dvbtune app, dvbtune -f 505833 


Cheers
Jonathan

Subject: [linux-dvb] Newby: Hauppauge Nova-T card: tzap error




I'm on a bit of a steep learning curve but thanks to Stephen Davies,
Dave Chapman and no doubt many others I am nearly there.

I am having trouble however with tzap and wonder if you can help, it
returns the error 

ERROR: error while parsing SpectralInversion (syntax error)!



Here is my process so far.

1)  Test card in Windows2000 box on same aerial, great reception, no
problems.

2) Using RedHat 7.2 box, latest kernel rpm and srpm, (has the correct
.config for my Athlon), plus all other rpms freshened.  Execute;

cd /usr/src
ln -s linux-2.4 linux
cd linux
make dep && make && make modules

just to get everything in line. ( No make install, trying to stay in
line with distribution )

3)  - Download the DVB cvs from linuxtv.org

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv login
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@linuxtv.org:/cvs/linuxtv co DVB

4)Compile and install the driver as per the docs

cd $LINUXTV_CVS/DVB/driver
make
make insmod

No errors, all cool.

Quick check of lsmod

cd $LINUXTV_CVS/DVB/libdvb
make
make install

5) Build the tzap app

cd $LINUXTV_CVS/DVB/apps/szap
make all
cp tzap szap /usr/local/bin

6) Create a ~/.tzap/channels.conf

become a non root user
mkdir ~/.tzap
echo "bbc1:505833:0:0:0:600:601:0:2:4164" > ~/.tzap/channels.conf 

7) Try tuning

tzap bbc1

returns

ERROR: error while parsing SpectralInversion (syntax error)!

Bugger)  Any pointers?  Gives the same error if run as root also.  So
near and yet...
