Recompile with DVB support:

make clean

[root@myth mythtv]# ./configure --disable-lirc --disable-joystick-menu --enable-dvb
DVB location does not contain linux/dvb/frontend.h [/usr/src/linux-2.6.11-1.14_FC3/include]

Find frontend.h:
[root@myth tmp]# find /usr -name "frontend.*" -print
/usr/include/linux/dvb/frontend.h
[root@myth tmp]#

Configure again:

[root@myth mythtv]# ./configure --disable-lirc --disable-joystick-menu --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/include

How did I get the dvb .h files? file timestamps are:

[root@myth dvb]# ls -l
total 52
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4605 May 18 11:28 audio.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3150 May 18 11:28 ca.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4227 May 18 11:28 dmx.h

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1017 May 18 11:28 version.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6855 May 18 11:28 video.h

From http://www.linuxtv.org :
"The LinuxTV project develops and maintains the DVB driver subsystem which is included in the Linux 2.6.x kernel."

Ah ha, May 18th was kernel upgrade to 2.6.11 so got .h files when that happened.
