Hi Tim,
I'm reposting a slightly updated response of what I sent over the list on 
the 3rd of March to Robert Watkins, because I think the same thing applies 
here.

dvbtune 0.3 works with the 0.9.4 driver and doesn't support setting the 
Modulation (QAM) or FEC on the command line. All but the ITV (oxf: 850000) 
and C5 (oxf: 713833) Transmitter went to FEC 3_4 and QAM 16 sometime late 
in 2002. Without the right settings you can tune and lock the frequency but 
you won't be able to get any useful data from the transmitter.

If you intend to stream / pipe to watch TV with Mplayer, dvbstream is 
probably the best tool available. Try using cvs dvbtune / dvbstream ( 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=50669) where you can specify these 
settings on the command line with DVB driver 1.0.0-pre2 ( 
http://www.linuxtv.org/ ).

Hope this helps,
Gregor
