This is just a guess, but from the looks below, it looks like mplayer
doesnt know where (or how) to find your device. It probably needs a
parameter or something. Try man mplayer... ...or read on below to see
how I do my own testing.

Dwayne-
I don't know what you did wrong (maybe someone else does), as I havent
been able to get mplayer to work like that on my system.
Instead, this is what I do:
azap WNET_HD -r (-r option is *very* important)
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 -tskeepbroken -cache 8192
That works for me, although the options that I am passing to mplayer are
completely optional. You must keep azap running in order for mplayer to
receive the stream.
MythTV does a nice job of managing all this for you... I highly
recommend it.
