Maby you need that script to create device files:

#!/bin/sh
echo "creating devices nodes ..."
# get rid of old DVB API devices; do it twice for good measure...
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/ost
rm -rf /dev/dvb
rm -rf /dev/dvb
mkdir /dev/dvb
chmod 755 /dev/dvb
for i in `seq 0 3`; do
echo "Creating DVB devices in /dev/dvb/adapter$i"
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter$i
chmod 755 /dev/dvb/adapter$i
mknod -m 0666 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/video0    c 250   `expr 64 \* $i + 0`
mknod -m 0666 /dev/dvb/adapter$i/audio0    c 250   `expr 64 \* $i + 1`
