Yeh, that's all looking perfect.

This time, instead of piping the data straight into mplayer, could you simply 
redirect it to a disk-file?

$ dvbstream -o -ps 600 601 >test.mpg

Then do a 'ls -l' from another window to verify that the filesize is 
continually increasing? This is just to rule out some bizarre problem with 
your mplayer setup....

Afterwards, you might like to try playing the file back in mplayer, or xine, 
or Windows Media Player, even :)

Of course, you'll need to have an MPEG2 demux/decoder installed on Windows...
