Hi Phil, I'm an (almost) total noob to mythTV, but after a few weeks playing with various configs, I've just finished getting my Nova-T working on FC4. Happy to help if I can (while its all still fresh in my mind!)
What happens when you try and scan? Some error messages or description of behaviour would be useful. In the meantime, here are some of the problems I had (and their solutions) (1) If you're getting an error about signal lock, its because you need to seed some of the values on the scan screen. I'm on the Crystal Palace transmitter and found that by setting the frequency to 505833330 and the bandwidth to 8mhz, the card then scanned correctly and found all the freeview channels. (2) You need to ensure that the user you are running mythtv-setup under has access to the dvb device. I'm sure all of the following isn't necessary, and someone else could tell you how to do it properly, but in /dev I set full access (chmod 777) to video, video0, /dvb, /dvb/adapter0, /dvb/adapter0/demux0, /dvb/adapter0/dvr0, /dvb/adapter0/frontend0, and /dvb/adapter0/net0 HTH.
