Did you use tzap -r?
Otherwise I think it just tunes the frontend but does not setup the
filters to receive any data.

Taking a dump of the stream from dvbstream should give you a what you
need anyway.
Specifiying "-v" on mplayer one or more times might show some useful
info about what MPEG info it finds in the stream.
I can't remember off hand but I think the data contained in the "00 00
01 b3" header contains something like the dimensions of the image,
aspect ratio etc.
