Almost :)

You can see from the 20% cache fill that data is coming in OK. The reason 
you're not seeing any TV is because mplayer is being fed 18Mbps of MPEG2 
Transport Stream containing BBC ONE, TWO, THREE, and News24...

You need to extract the right PIDs from the stream before passing it onto 
mplayer... I usually use dvbstream for this...

$ dvbstream -o -ps 600 601 | mplayer -nocache -

Will pick out the BBC ONE video and audio and pass it through.

Cheers,
Gavin.
