Nick Latheron you should have db-t also working if the firmware is loaded correctly. I think your problem is related to the use of an application compilant with dvb 3.x and not with the new dvb 4.x that supports multiple frontends. To workaround this you can do:
sudo mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1
sudo ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0
sudo ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0
sudo ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0
sudo ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0

take a look if you have more dvb adapters and see if 0 is your hvr.

About the main issue, the firmware v1.23.86.1 that can be obtained by:
wget http://tevii.com/Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar
sudo apt-get install unrar-free
unrar x Tevii_linuxdriver_0815.rar
sudo cp tevii_linuxdriver_0815/fw/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw
sudo ln -s /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116-1.23.86.1.fw /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw

Works well with hvr-4000 and it's taken from the TeVii S460 Linux driver so is presumably to work also with it. The update of the firmware will make some dvb card to work out of the box.
