<nod> I called Hauppauge in the UK a while back, and they can get you a 
full-featured DVB-T card, but it'll cost $329 + shipping + 4 week delivery 
time. They quoted dollars because it'll have to be imported...

This will come as second nature after a while:

For BBC / Freeview muxes:

dvbstream -f 754167 -qam 16 -cr 3_4 -ps 600 601 -o | mplayer - -nocache

For ITV and C5 muxes

dvbstream -f 834167 -qam 64 -cr 2_3 -ps 512 650 -o | mplayer - -nocache

Use 'dvbtune -i' on each mux to find out the lists of PIDs available to 
replace '600 601' with ...

You'll probably have better luck with mplayer and "-vo sdl" or maybe 
"-noaspect" and then changing the size settings on your monitor...
