if it's H264 you are missing the PMT pid in the channels.conf file
and you are also using -vo mpegpes, that involves decoding
H264 in software and re-encoding to mpeg2 to send it to your 
dvb card. Is it really what you want?

add the pmt pid or set 8192 in one of the pids, then during playback
press TAB until you find the right program
