1) ts2ps /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 0 0 means nothing: the second and third 
parameter
are the audio and video pids you want to use: 2160 and 2120 in case of 
Dubai EDTV

2) use mplayer cvs, not 0.9x

3) if you still want to use a pipe at least  run
szap -r "BBC World"

mplayer -cache 2048 < /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0

4) xine, mplayer and vlc have native dvb support, so there's no need to 
resort to pipes

xine dvb://
mplayer dvb://
vlc has a different syntax.

In all cases read the docs included in the source packages to find how 
to use the dvb streaming module.

You need dvbstream 0.4pre3+, that is the version checked out from cvs

www.sf.net/projects/dvbtools/

ost/*.h are header files relative to 0.9.x drivers; they are obsolete.
VLC uses libdvb, available from www.metzlerbros.de
