though mine is a fresh FC5 install, and I wasn't sure if I should have a /dev/dvb/adapter0/video0 or if xine should use /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 instead

I don't have any /dev/dvb/adapter* either.

Though part of my dvb card was being detected and kernel modules loaded, the dvb part wasn't, so I created a script saved as /etc/sysconfig/modules/saa7134-dvb.modules

#!/bin/sh
modprobe saa7134-dvb >/dev/null 2>&1
for i in `ls -d /dev/dvb/adapter*` ; do
        cd $i
        if [ ! -e video0 ] ; then
                ln -s dvr0 video0 ;
        fi
        chmod 777 *
done

this loads the missing module, creates a soft link for the video0 device(s) which makes xine happy for me and sets lazy device permissions, I could probably handle those better through udev and user groups.
