I've got it :)

It just suddenly clicked. The newer DVB drivers switch off the card
frontend after 5 seconds if they're not actually opened by any
application.  dvbtune/dvbstream don't keep them open...

So, by the time mplayer actually starts, the frontend is just closing, 
hence a very short burst of video.

Unload your DVB drivers, and reload, ensuring you pass the argument 
'dvb_shutdown_timeout=0' to the dvb-core.o module.

Have fun!
Gavin.
