Sure

One way:

Get and build Dave Chapman's dvbstream.  Preferably the 0.4pre version
 (Dave: is that available)
Build ts2ps that comes with DVB driver
Get a program that can play an MPEG2 program stream.  I use mplayer
(mplayerhq.org)

WIth the newer dvbstream, watching TV is as simple as:

  dvbstream -o -f freq 600 601 | ts2ps 600 601 | \
    mplayer -cache 2000 -pp 0x20000 -vo whatever -

With older dvbstream, use:

  dvbstream -f freq 600 601 &
  dumprtp | ts2ps 600 601 | mplayer -cache 2000 -pp 0x20000 -vo whatever - 

Hope that helps,
Steve
