Ok,

$ mplayer tv:// -vo xv -tv driver=v4l2

seems to work for me. The channel specification doesn't do much however; 
you'll probably have to use 'h' or 'k' to change channels once it's running.

The only problem I have now is that there doesn't appear to be any sound 
.. maybe some digging around in the man pages will help ..

$ man mplayer
