I got it working with the primary-layer option and YUV2 pixel format. I
think one reason it wasn't working before (including sound) was because
it keeps starting up tuned to a wrong channel entry or something. When I
changed channel it started working.

Two big problems though: none of the visible options support outputting
correctly to a 16:9 TV, and it's not dealing with interlacing correctly.
I need an equivalent of mplayer's "frameparity=top". Deinterlacing
filters are not a viable option.
