So lucky I was only trying to tune into trackside...  :-)

I looked at the vlc documentation and I couldn't find a command line option
to specify input from a dvb card, so unless you know something I don't, I
will put that option on indefinite hold.

In the end, I got vlc to connect to gnutv via rtp and got sufficient
intelligible pictures and sound to convince me I really was tuned to
trackside.

So now, I want to figure out why I can't get mythtv to tune the card...
