The DVB core is completely different than the V4L core, and the hardware 
in question is also completely different.  In this case you're talking 
about stats from the tuner; the pvrusb2 driver currently relies on the 
V4L core API (e.g. VIDIOC_G_TUNER) for such information.  If it isn't 
available via that function, then it probably isn't possible right now 
to retrieve it.  I imagine this isn't what you wanted to hear :-(
