See my page at http://www.linuxstb.org/dvb-t

Specifically, for Waltham, the BBC multiplex is on channel 49. To convert 
this to MHz, use the formula:

Freq = (ch * 8) + 306

so Channel 49 is at 698 MHz (698000 KHz).  Assuming the PIDs are the same 
(they may not be), you could then use:

dvbstream -f 698000 -o 600 601 | ts2ps 600 601 | xine stdin://mpeg2

Regards,

Dave.
