I don't think it's a good idea to mix tzap and dvbstream together - use 
one set of tools or the other.  They both more or less do the same thing 
- but in different ways.

For dvbstream, the following should work (the -ps option is not needed 
with recent mplayer versions):

dvbstream -f 505833 -qam 16 -cr 3_4 -o 600 601 | mplayer -cache 8192 -

(I use the Crystal Palace transmitter as well, and the above command 
works for me).

A more convenient option is to use mplayer's "dvb://" syntax - but it's 
probably not worth exploring that until you have other, more 
straightforward methods working.

The fact that "scan" works proves that your card and drivers are 
installed OK.

Dave
