You can use xawtv under X11 or the DVB/apps/test/video.c program from 
the DVB-CVS. It just starts grabbing into the framebuffer; you have to 
set the videomode to something like 768x576x16bit using fbset first and 
can then execute the program (remote or local).

I'll commit this as channels.conf-dvbt-sandyheath into CVS. Could you 
please send updates to me and the list when necessairy?

thanks,
