I would try using Kaffeine to see whether your DVB card is working properly - I decided to do this when I setup another slave backend using some cheap V-Stream cards. It should have your transmitter settings already defined in the Kaffeine DVB setup, and also scans for TV/radio channels, but has the luxury of a GUI interface and live video. Assuming the prerequisites are met - i.e. you have a strong signal, aerial plugged into the input, DVB devices (using cx88_dvb driver if the newer Nova-T card) loaded successfully with accessible permissions (for all /dev/dvb* devices and dirs) - you should be able to get Kaffeine working with the card. Do you get any output in your messages file when your DVB driver is loaded?
