Well, I tried
10:58 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --vbidevice=/dev/dvb/adapter0 and 11:00 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0 and 11:02 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0 and 11:04 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 and 11:05 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0 and 11:05 barrowhillfarm:~> tvtime-configure --device=/dev/dvb/adapter0/net0
but tvtime didn't like any of them: "not a video4linux device" :(
Why hasn't the tv card been mounted on /dev/video1 ?
This is something I'm not familiar with. I guess, "not a video4linux device" means some more generic issue, not related to TV viewing application. Hopefully somebody on the list knows this stuff better. In the meantime I would try reading video4linux manpage / help (or search in google). Also, there is a set of rules somewhere in /etc/udev/rules.d, that defines how specific hot-plugged device is presented. I see that now similar set of rules exists in /etc/modprobe.d. There is some file 50-tv.conf in /etc/modprobe.d It is empty on this laptop I'm looking at now (it does not have TV card). You could probably check if there is something in this file on your machine.
