correction:
$ dvbstream -vsb 8 -f <frequency> -o 8192 | mplayer -

or compile mplayer from cvs, type the following content in 
~./mplayer/channels.conf

test:<FREQUENCY>:VSB_8:8192:0

and run

$ mplayer -tsprobe 10000000 -v dvb://test > log.txt

log.txt will contain a list of programs in numeral format (search 
PROGID) with the list of pids used
(except those with type=0xffffffff).
