starting dvbd without any options will get you in console mode, dvbd 
will show you status parameters.
starting with dvbd -q will get you in daemon mode, dvbd will be 
running in the background and leaves his messages in syslog.

>What output should I get from dvbd, if any?

in daemon mode you'll might get a message of a successfull start and 
logging into the satellite, i never got this, just read about.
in console mode you'll see something like the following: 
Fsync=134535532, Freq=2032250000, Sync=1
in this case sync is 1, so you've a really bad satellite connection, 
maximum sync is 127, and that it should be.

just get http://linuxtv.org/dvb/dvbrouter.tar.gz , it's the complete 
package with actual dvbd.
thats my only active filter: filter_0 512
just pay attention to the frequency to use the right satellite ;)
that's the basic information, transponder 113 just works only some 
time, fiddle it out.

103
proxy 194.177.32.196
frequence 12.461
polarity horizontal
symbolrate 22 MS/s

113
proxy  194.177.32.11
frequence 12.63325
polarity horizontal
symbolrate 22 MS/s

114
proxy 194.177.32.44
frequence 12.560
polarity vertical
symbolrate 22 MS/s


115
proxy 194.177.32.171
frequence 12.66275
polarity horizontal
symbolrate 22 MS/s


>Do you know if I require ifup, ifdown and ifcfg scripts in the
>/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ directory for dvb0?

if you have a constant ip and you are connected via ethernet, you 
don't need the scripts.
if you have a dialup line you need to configure ip-up, the 
ppp-script, to start and stop dvbd and to load and reload the 
dvb-drivers at best, so nothing gets in a hassle, just don't forget 
to change the device in dvbd.c

>If the answer is yes to the above could you please send me an example?

sorry, i'm not on redhat.
