I'd expect to see (from memory) FE_HAS_LOCK on the end of those lines, so something more like this:

status 01 | signal fa00 | snr f772 | ber 00000000 | unc fffffffe | FE_HAS_LOCK

Looks like it hasn't locked on to the channel for some reason. I think this is probably your problem, though I don't know what you should do to fix it...

[user@vortexbox ~]$

And, while szap -r TV2 is running, on another console I should be able
to run mplayer?  So:
[user@vortexbox ~]$ mplayer -vo x11 /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0
MPlayer SVN-r33254-snapshot-4.5.1 (C) 2000-2011 MPlayer Team

Can't init input joystick

mplayer: No such file or directory
Failed to open LIRC support. You will not be able to use your remote control.

Playing /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0.


MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: demux_open


MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: demux_open
[user@vortexbox ~]$

But, nothing happens at Playing /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. ...  Where
should I see what's playing?

I usually do:

$ cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > recording.mpg

and then in another terminal

$ mplayer recording.mpg

Though it doesn't look like thats your problem, but at least you can see if any data is being retrieved if the file grows in size.
