You can find the FEC and QAM values can be found on the program information 
page of the setup screen within the dec's menus.  There should be a mode like 
this:

2K - 1/32 - 16QAM - CR 3/4

These are:

transmission mode - guard interval - QAM - FEC

In libdvb at http://metzlerbros.org/dvb/index.html.  Add your path to 
dvb-kernel/linux/include to the INCLUDES in config, and make.  The tools get 
built in dvb-mpegtools.  The current version seems to produce lots of broken 
links for me - just softlink ts2ps to dvb-mpegtools_main.

I'm not too sure.  Try it and see I guess ;)
