Doing an MHEG dump with a Nebula DigiTV device is really easy thanks to its great software, unfortunately it is much more complicated with other hardware, like the Nova-T, but it is possible.
If you're a window$ user you can use DVB StreamExplorer's new DSM-CC Object Carousel plug-in to dump the vcg.mhg file from the MHEG PID. This program will work with many DVB-T devices but the full version will set you back £20.

If you're a linux guru you could also use DVBSnoop:

But if you don't have a Nebula card and you don't want to fork out £20 for DVBSE there is also a FREE solution! It's called DC-DVB and it should work with any device with BDA drivers:

It is a directshow filter so it needs to be used with a host application, you can use Window$ MediaPlayer but I recommend you use ZoomPlayer or MPC.
Use the batch files to register the filter and plug-in then use the ChannelScan program to set-up the codecs and tune the channels.
Save a .dvb file and then open that file with a directshow mediaplayer.
If you want to do an MHEG dump tune to SS / RH / XV, wait about 30 seconds, and then look in the MHPData directory.
Apart from being the only free application with a DSM-CC object carousel parser it also has loads of other great features like networking, and being able to record several channels simultaneously!
If you device does not have a BDA driver, like the Freecom TV stick, you can try using BDA drivers from another vendor. I know these Yamuko drivers work with the Freecom:

Please don't flood DeCoder's developement board with loads of "How do I do RedHot dumps?" style questions, if you have problems I'd be happy to help you out.
Cheers,
Nick
