It's a bit clumsy, but I ran up against the same problem and solved it 
with:

dvbstream -f FREQ -ps -o VPID APID | mplayer -nosound -

Where APID is just /any/ APID from that transponder - doesn't matter 
which, because it'll just get ignored.

Poor, I know, but mplayer seems to be an incredibly dumb player for all 
the work that's gone into it...

After all, what fool would /ever/ want to watch an MPEG stream with
video *without* *sound*. <guffaw> :/
