You also need to modify "tune.c" in the dvbtune package (and tune.c in 
dvbstream if you use that application) to set the appropriate OFDM parameters 
for Sweden.  You can probably just try to guess these - have a look at my 
dvb-t page (link above) to see what other countries are using.  Maybe Sweden 
is the same as Finland.

Also, I would recommend getting the latest CVS version of dvbtune from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvbtools - I've fixed a few bugs in dvbtune.c 
and xml2vdr.c recently.
