Updated by Perfectly normal for the type of TV/Sat card you have. (My Nova's do the same) It doesn't have an MPEG Encoder chip, most DVB cards don't. You can safely ignore those log comments. Does the Frontend show up on on the Web configuration screen?
Certainly looks from the log that V4L found the correct drivers for the card, not sure when the HVR4000 and HD-S2 where added to the V4L, but it appears to be working fine from what you posted.
