This was on 2.6.24 -- once I downgraded to 2.6.22, just about everything that 
could break, did. For bonus points, none of the packages would recompile 
either (but maybe I was being stupid).

Like said, it was easier to just hose it down and start over.

I've got the following kopts enabled for the DVB modules:

==============================================================

pvr@dragon:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/dvb-options
# enable LNA for Hauppauge Nova-T-500
options dvb-usb-dib0700 force_lna_activation=1

# disable IR remote for Nova-T-500 (and other USB-DVB IRCs)
options dvb-usb disable_rc_polling=1

# force card order -- DiB0700 (Nova-T-500) first, then CX88 (HVR-3000).
# also creates virtual i/f 10 so Myth can see the Freeview hybrid
install cx88-dvb /sbin/modprobe dvb-usb-dib0700; /sbin/modprobe 
--ignore-install cx88-dvb; mkdir -p /dev/dvb/adapter10; ln -sf 
/dev/dvb/adapter2/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter10/demux0; ln -sf 
/dev/dvb/adapter2/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter10/dvr0; ln -sf 
/dev/dvb/adapter2/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter10/frontend0; ln -sf 
/dev/dvb/adapter2/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter10/net0

==============================================================

At the moment both of the Nova-T-500's tuners are recording live TV, and the 
HVR-3000 is in DVT-T mode and recording too. No problems yet, but uptime is 
only 75 minutes. It's got a massive list of things to record overnight (think 
"stress test"), so fingers crossed. The only USB disconnect warning in dmesg 
is from when I unplugged the USB mouse after I got the R/C working.
